When we launched Kasabi we set out with a big vision that encompassed new ways to publish, share and create value from data.

Linked Data in Kasabi
08/12/2011
There have been some questions recently about Linked Data support in Kasabi, so in this post I wanted to provide a few pointers on how we support Linked Data publishing, and how to access the data. First of all, I’ll note that there’s a screencast that shows a complete worked example of how to publish […]
