JSON-LD - Making every object matter in Semantic Web
Linked-Data is the first step towards Semantic web, where it is no more about documents and markup. It is about things and relation between them. Though the concept of Semantic web existed for long, the developers are still grappling with right usage. The two issues of data representation and visual presentation for user consumption persisted. With the evolution of user interfaces, metaphor that proved its worthiness is the 'Cards design'. This is used by Google in Google+, Google Now and Pinterest interface. The same interface can scale down to miniature devices like watches. You can build applications with cards metaphor and using linked data for rich user experience.
This talk explains how to utilize the vast amount of open linked data and build simple, yet powerful applications.

Public Feedback
In general I like this topic. Would you be able to focus more on the user experience and visualization of semantic data (like with cards) as opposed to things like SEO? Also, this seems like a lot of info to fit in 20 minutes. Would you be willing to do 45 minutes if we have the slot available?
Thanks for the response. Yes, I can cover from that angle.
Please let me know if 45 minutes slot is available, I will prepare accordingly.
Yes we've a 45 mins slot available. Please update your proposals based on the feedback from Kris and also update the break-up for 45 mins session. Thanks.
Done.
Thanks for the interesting proposal Janardan. Can you please update the proposal with a video link to any of your past presentations? It will help the committee understand your presentation skills.
