Yes, you read that correctly. During this talk we will be looking at things from another perspective. The Internet of Things is being built today: all gadgets, devices, sensor are going online, talking to eachother. Soon, you will be able to receive an SMS from your vacuum cleaner reminding you to restock your vacuum cleaner bags as you walk past the store. You can receive an email from your washing machine telling you that your laundry is washed and ready. While this may have sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie only a few years ago, it could soon be reality!

And that's fine! But what about using these items together with the data that is already online, and combine it all in various ways? What if computers could understand the meaning and context of data without any help from us? How can this data make items you already own, or can easily get from the Internet, bring more valuable to you? We will be looking at semantic technologies, open linked data and how these can be used to enrich our everyday lives, our data and our gadgets.
