Adjunct professor Erik Wilde is presenting his research today at the 8th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing. Wilde’s paper, entitled “Linked Data and Service Orientation,” analyzes two competing schools of thought about what “linked data” means. He explores how these competing definitions contribute to the perspective of service orientation — a technique which builds a loose coupling between information-intensive service providers and service consumers.
Erik Wilde’s teaching and research focus on web architecture, information architecture, and the design of open systems. Last year, he helped prepare a series of data-transparency recommendations for the US government.
The International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC) is a prime forum for academics and industry researchers and developers to report and share groundbreaking works in service oriented computing. ISOC has been meeting annually since 2003. The 2010 conference, which is being held in San Francisco, brings together scientists, engineers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines to focus on service innovation.
