Ruben Verborgh blog publications articles teaching contact Ruben Verborgh – Professor of Decentralized Web technology Let’s redefine the relation between people, apps, and data. By taking control of our data flow , we take control of our choices. Privacy is nothing but a byproduct of sustainable innovation. Ruben Verborgh I’m a professor of Decentralized Web technology at IDL ab , Ghent University – imec , and a research affiliate at the Decentralized Information Group of CSAIL at MIT . I’ m also a technology advocate for Inrupt , supporting the Solid ecosystem that gives you back control and choice— online and offline. I love discussing about the Web , Linked Data , decentralization , Web API s , hypermedia clients , and much more . We are entering the post-Big Data era, where companies realize that data harvesting as a business model is a dead end. The future consists of lots of small data that is linked . People will be in control of where they store their data and who they share it with, independently of the apps they use. In such a world , we can choose to spend our data on innovative apps , instead of loosing our time to those who hold our data hostage. I’ m researching technologies that enable us to effect this socio-economic change . Of course, I practice what I preach and publish my own data as Linked Open Data . You can query my data live on the Web, even across multiple datasets . I’m also working on getting my personal data out of Facebook . Blog If you’re into Linked Data , Web API s , REST , JavaScript , communication , research , or if you’re just curious, check out my latest blog posts : Shaping Linked Data apps Decentralized apps will need a lot of flexibility, which they will gain through data shapes. Designing a Linked Data developer experience Making decentralized Web app development fun. Paradigm shifts for the decentralized Web As separate markets for data and apps emerge, Web development needs to adopt a new shape. Projects I’m involved in several projects, including: Solid Use the apps you need, store your data where you want. Linked Data Fragments Query Linked Data on a Web scale by moving intelligence to the client. RDF Mapping Language ( RML ) Combine data from heterogeneous sources through the power of Linked Data.
