The World Wide Web has enabled the creation of a global information
space comprising linked documents. As the Web becomes ever more
enmeshed with our daily lives, there is a growing desire for direct
access to raw data not currently available on the Web or bound up
in hypertext documents. Linked Data provides a publishing paradigm
in which not only documents, but also data, can be a first class
citizen of the Web, thereby enabling the extension of the Web with
a global data space based on open standards - the Web of Data. In
this Synthesis lecture we provide readers with a detailed technical
introduction to Linked Data. We begin by outlining the basic
principles of Linked Data, including coverage of relevant aspects
of Web architecture. The remainder of the text is based around two
main themes - the publication and consumption of Linked Data.
Drawing on a practical Linked Data scenario, we provide guidance
and best practices on: architectural approaches to publishing
Linked Data; choosing URIs and vocabularies to identify and
describe resources; deciding what data to return in a description
of a resource on the Web; methods and frameworks for automated
linking of data sets; and testing and debugging approaches for
Linked Data deployments. We give an overview of existing Linked
Data applications and then examine the architectures that are used
to consume Linked Data from the Web, alongside existing tools and
frameworks that enable these. Readers can expect to gain a rich
technical understanding of Linked Data fundamentals, as the basis
for application development, research or further study. Table of

As the Web continues to grow, increasing amounts of data are being
made available for human and machine consumption. This emerging
Semantic Web is rapidly entering the mainstream and, as a result, a
variety of new solutions for searching, aggregating and the
intelligent delivery of information are being
produced,bothinresearchandcommercialsettings.Severalnewchallengesarise
from this context, both from a technical and human-computer
interaction p- spective - e.g., as issues to do with the
scalability andusability of Semantic Web solutions become
particularly important. The International Semantic Web Conference
(ISWC) is the major inter- tional forum where the latest research
results and technical innovations on all aspects of the Semantic
Web are presented. ISWC brings together researchers, practitioners,
and users from the areas of arti?cial intelligence, databases,
social
networks,distributedcomputing,Webengineering,informationsystems,natural
language processing, soft computing, and human-computer interaction
to d- cuss the major challenges and proposed solutions, success
stories and failures, as well the visions that can advance the
?eld.

This volume contains papers from the technical program of the 6th
European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2009), held from May 31 to
June 4, 2009, in Heraklion, Greece. ESWC 2009 presented the latest
results in research and applications of Semantic Web technologies.
In addition to the technical research track, ESWC 2009 featured a
tutorial program, a PhD symposium, a system demo track, a poster
track, a number of collocated workshops, and for the ?rst time in
the series a Semantic Web in-use track exploring the bene?ts of
applying Semantic Web technology in real-life applications and
contexts. Thetechnical researchpaper
trackreceivedover250submissions.The review process was organized
using a two-tiered system, where each submission was reviewed by at
least three members of the Program Committee. Vice Program
CommitteeChairsorganizedadiscussionbetweenreviewers,collectedadditional
reviews when necessary and provided a metareview for each
submission. During a physical Program Committee meeting, the Vice
Program Committee Chairs together with the Program Chairs selected
45 research papers to be presented at the conference.
Crosby's own local newspaper, the Crosby Herald, publishes a
regular 'Memories' column that features stories and photographs
from the area's past. It is a popular column and made more so
because of the endless supply of old photographs provided for it by
local collector Tom Heath. In this book, his second series of old
images in the series, he again takes readers on a nostalgic tour of
the old Merseyside communities of Crosby, Waterloo, Blundellsands,
Seaforth and Litherland. Using over 200 photographs, this
collection shows, in some detail, how local streets and buildings
looked, and how they have changed, over a period of one hundred
years. Most of the photographs in the book were taken by the Crosby
photographer and stationer Stephen Cushing who died in 1973 and had
a studio and shop in Moor Lane Crosby for thirty years. He was a
prolific photographer and fortunately much of his work survives
today. The images here were almost all selected from the author's
own extensive archive of local memorabilia.
This book is part of the Images of England series, which uses old
photographs and archived images to show the history of various
local areas in England, through their streets, shops, pubs, and
people.
