Having the Information Workbench available as EC2 virtual appliance considerably lowers the effort in building Linked Data applications: the EC2 image can be instantiated within minutes, thus avoiding investments in IT infrastructure and saving time in setting up own servers. All you need to do is to instantiate the EC2 image of the Information Workbench virtual appliance. The resulting instance is a complete, ready-to-use Information Workbench installation that is fully customizable and globally accessible in the Web. New AWS users can also benefit from Amazon’s free usage tier for micro instances and run their own Information Workbench for free for one year!
Having installed the image, users can load their own data into the Information Workbench, correlate it with publicly available Linked Open Data, and customize the system layout and behavior – an easy way to build Linked Data applications! Once the data is available, the Information Workbench allows for visual exploration of content elements based on rich metadata, collaborative knowledge acquisition and augmentation through semantic annotation, advanced search, analytics and reporting, as well as self-service development based on W3C standards. More information on the platform is available on the Information Workbench project page.
