The mission of the Linked Data Platform (LDP) Working Group is to produce a W3C Recommendation for HTTP-based (RESTful) application integration patterns using read/write Linked Data. This work will benefit both small-scale in-browser applications (WebApps) and large-scale Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) efforts. It will complement SPARQL and will be compatible with standards for publishing Linked Data, bringing the data integration features of RDF to RESTful, data-oriented software development. Introduction This group is based on the idea of combining two Web-related concepts to help solve some of the long-standing challenges involved in building and combining software: RDF, the Resource Description Framework, is a W3C Recommended general technique for conveying information.

The Linked Data Platform is envisioned as an enterprise-ready collection of standard techniques and services based on using RESTful APIs and the W3C Semantic Web stack. Scope Technical Issues Deliverables. Linked Data - Design Issues. Up to Design Issues The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related, data.

Like the web of hypertext, the web of data is constructed with documents on the web. However, unlike the web of hypertext, where links are relationships anchors in hypertext documents written in HTML, for data they links between arbitrary things described by RDF,. The URIs identify any kind of object or concept. Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. Simple. The four rules I'll refer to the steps above as rules, but they are expectations of behavior. The first rule, to identify things with URIs, is pretty much understood by most people doing semantic web technology. The second rule, to use HTTP URIs, is also widely understood.

Linked Data Platform 1.0. Introduction Many HTTP applications and sites have organizing concepts that partition the overall space of resources into smaller containers. Blog posts are grouped into blogs, wiki pages are grouped into wikis, and products are grouped into catalogs. Each resource created in the application or site is created within an instance of one of these container-like entities, and users can list the existing artifacts within one. Containers answer some basic questions, which are: To which URLs can I POST to create new resources? Where can I GET a list of existing resources? How do I get information about the members along with the container? This document defines the representation and behavior of containers that address these issues. This document includes a set of guidelines for creating new resources and adding them to the list of resources linked to a container.

Example 1 Sometimes you have to build on existing models incrementally, so you have fewer degrees of freedom in the resource model.
