Predavatelj: Evan Sandhous, New York Times

Naslov: Administering A 160-year-old Database Knowledge Management At 
The New York Times

Povzetek

The New York Times published its first issue on September 18, 1851. Over 
58,000 days have passed in the ensuing 160 years and, in that time, The 
Times has printed, indexed and databased well over 15 million articles, 
reviews, editorials and obituaries. This is a lot of data. In my talk I 
will discuss several interesting aspects of our knowledge management 
history and detail three recent approaches The Times has employed to 
manage our ever-growing news archive with an emphasis on Linked Data and 
Semantic Markup. Specifically I will discuss our Linked Open Data 
Initiatives and provide an overview of rNews - a recently-developed 
standard for embedding publishing metadata in HTML documents.
