      Hi Keliah. My biggest achievements probably include getting my university degree in physics, and then writing my first academic paper!

      Thanks for asking, Keliah! I’m most proud of a report I wrote, which has been translated into 4 languages:
      – Spanish
      – French
      – Chinese
      – Japanese
      It’s about how libraries can use “linked data” technology.

      Linked data is a really simple idea. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web, defined linked data with 4 rules:
      1. Give things names.
      2. Use web addresses — names that other people can use on the Web (This page has that kind of name — its URL: /bigdatan14-zone/2014/11/13/what-is-your-biggest-achievement/ The fancy name for this? “Uniform resource identifier” or URI)
      3. Use web standards to provide information
      4. Link to other stuff
