Using tools like SPARQL | Using tools like SPARQL and LODSPeaKr people will learn how to use Linked Open Data available on the Web to create visualizations. Some familiarity of the participants with HTML, SPARQL and programming languages is '''highly''' recommended but not necessary to know all of them. | ||
I will explain how these tools work for 40 min. or 1 hour. After that an individual/group project will put in practice what has been learned. | I will explain how these tools work for 40 min. or 1 hour. After that an individual/group project will put in practice what has been learned. | ||

For 10, 50 or more people I expect to have groups of no more than 4/5 people each that will create visualizations. The project will be to create a set of visualizations that will support a story (about economy, politics, etc.) that the group wants to tell. | For 10, 50 or more people I expect to have groups of no more than 4/5 people each that will create visualizations.

====Group formation==== | |||
Ideally each group should consist of members with different backgrounds and different levels of technical skills. Thus we can maximize the number of areas of expertise in every group. Also, we can learn other people's point of views that we are not used to know :-) | |||
====Pre-cooked projects==== | |||
For those groups who don't have people with strong technical skills and do not want to get stuck in one specific step, I will provide "pre-cooked" projects, i.e., visualizations at different levels of development that can be used for groups who do not want to start form scratch. | |||
* Full SPARQL queries: The queries are ready, the group will have to create a visualization from it. | |||
* Half-made SPARQL queries: The queries need some modification to fit their needs | |||
* No queries: The groups is assigned a specific visualization (and told where they can find the information) but they have to create the queries from scratch. | |||

If there are not enough people, probably 90 to 120 min aprox. With more people, we will be able to have something to show to someone else in 30-45 minutes. | |||

People will be able to install | People will be able to install create useful visualization based on data available on the Web that can be used in their work. If there is enough time, I will show how to install the software on a Linux machine so they can have a "visualization server". Otherwise, I'll leave the documentation to do so available online. | ||
