2 DRUPAL is perfect for presenting information to PEOPLE ASTROBOA is perfect for presenting information to MACHINES DRUPAL+ASTROBOA Powerful Web Content and Open Data Publishing

3 The World Wide Web is the largest single information resource humanity has ever produced Unfortunately is only understandable by humans Web computers can't understand the content the semantics

4 OPEN DATA / SEMANTIC WEB Structuring data adds value and meaning. Semi-Structured data add flexibility A Consistent Structure facilitates the reuse, re-purposing and sharing of data An API OPENS the structured data to machines

5 WHY SHOULD I CARE? OPEN DATA information freely available and easily accessible online huge economic benefits: new business opportunities 28 billion market billion annual gains for EU27 important social benefits: transparency, efficiency, participation, accountability Directive 2003/98/EC, EU Open Data Package

6 I am convinced! How to Plan my Open Data / Semantic Web Site Save time & money by planning from the start to embrace Semantic Web technologies and have your Web site and an API in ONE STEP Avoid the dual approach to build a site and then create a separate API for your Web site. ASTROBOA-DRUPAL platform gives you a free API-fied web site that serves great web pages to people and accessible data to machines

9 The key Integration Point: Entities

10 How: Entity Two Way Mapping Each Astroboa Entity is automatically mapped to a Drupal Entity (hook_entity_info) Each Astroboa Entity Property is mapped to a Drupal Field (fields api) The Result: Drupal users can create and edit Astroboa Entities and then publish any Entity Instance stored in local or remote Astroboa Repositories

11 Key Goals Create an entity from Drupal and store it in Astroboa Aggregate entities from Astroboa and display them with Views Display them differently with custom theme formatters Support complex Astroboa entities
