Meetup: Beer, Wine, Chips and Cheese, What's the connection to Linked Data?

Smart Collaboration within Food & Drink Supply Chains
Solving complex problems within supply chains with experts from different domains asks for smart collaboration to break down organizational and technical silo’s. Linked Data is a vital element to build up such smart collaboration networks and solve interoperability challenges. This meetup will give the audience some clear and insightful examples from the food, drink and health industry.

It’s not that difficult. Just have a beer or a glass of wine combined with food and it becomes really easy to build meaningful connections between people with the same interest.
That was the starting point of the Linked Beer working group within the activities of Platform Linked Data Netherlands (PLDN). Think of brewery and beer data, beer styles, ingredients and recipes, beer supply chain activities, quality aspects, tracking and traceability in the supply chain, beer preferences of consumers combined with discovering new beers that match those preferences, local availability of beers and local activities related to e.g. beer tastings and tours in breweries. In doing so building a smart collaboration network around brewery and beer data in the Netherlands using Linked Data as the sound and flexible backbone to build meaningful and smart connections in that network, where all the data is registered ones and re-used many times without making copies of that data. 
But not everybody loves beer and might have a different preference. Wine, whiskey, cocktails or any other tasteful drink or food, the possible Linked Data applications are endless when you look at the entire food and drink services supply chain and the consumption patterns. For years, we have worked on describing and connecting base registries using Linked Data. This is still very important for our community when we look at simplifying and improving governmental services and at possible and meaningful cross-overs between the academic, governmental and business world. We see very good developments in these areas. But we would also like to show the added value of Linked Data with some examples that are immediately recognizable for everybody, and not just for the Linked Data experts. This meetup is therefore the perfect combination between business and pleasure.
During this meetup, we will present three topics in this area, from beer to cocktails to food that show the benefits of using Linked Data within supply chains to build smart collaboration networks.
