Could we add a slide on linked data?
I was wondering if you'd like to add a slide on "Wikipedia/DBPedia as a hub of linked data".

Points:
 * DBPedia DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia:
 * Nice figure showing DBPedia right at the center: http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/lod-datasets_2011-09-19_1000px.png
 * In 2011, the Web of Linked Data grew to a size of about 32 billion RDF triples (source: http://www.w3.org/wiki/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData)
 * Structured data exists in Wikipedia infoboxes
 * Infoboxes are like linkout for Wikipedia (everyone here will know what linkout means).
 * Example, showing link to genereviews: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperkalemic_periodic_paralysis
 * Could they be updated by bots, or in some other way curated by NCBI?

Just a suggestion! If you don't have time, or would rather not, don't worry about it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klortho (talk • contribs) 16:09, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Can we remove "list of subpages" from the main page of the talk
I want to send these "slides" to other people, but I'm afraid they'll be intimidated if they see this "list of subpages" on the landing page that I refer them to. That was certainly my first impression -- I started clicking the links in that list, and got lost and confused. I know it exists as a handy reference to you, but it is a huge amount of "cognitive noise" to visitors. Could it be moved to a separate subpage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klortho (talk • contribs) 03:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I see what you've done with "wikitable collapsible". Nice!  Klortho (talk) 04:08, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
