[tdwg-content] primer video for Semantics of Biodiversity Symposium

[Steve Baskauf]

The Semantics for Biodiversity symposium at the TDWG Annual Conference 
has three sessions devoted to presentations related to use of semantic 
technologies in a biodiversity context.  A fourth session [1], which 
will occur first chronologically, is a primer session intended to 
provide attendees with the background needed to understand the content 
of the three later sessions. 

The primer session assumes a familiarity with basic terminology used in 
Resource Description Framework (such as URI, triple, subject, predicate, 
object, property, namespace, value, graph, node, serialization).  If you 
are not already familiar with these terms, there is an 18 minute video 
geared towards beginners that explains these terms and shows how RDF is 
presented in its most user-friendly form (Turtle serialization).  The 
video can be watched at http://youtu.be/XAGifYBiXMY .  Additional 
background information is available on the RDF Task Group's website.
