Linked Data | Linked Data - Connect Distributed Data across the Web
Linked Data is about using the Web to connect related data that wasn't previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods. More specifically, Wikipedia defines Linked Data as "a term used to describe a recommended best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting pieces of data , information , and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF ."The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) [ 1 ] that promotes common formats for data on the World Wide Web . By encouraging the inclusion of semantic content in web pages, the Semantic Web aims at converting the current web of unstructured documents into a "web of data". It builds on the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF). [ 2 ] According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries." [ 2 ] The term was coined by Tim Berners-Lee , [ 3 ] the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (" W3C "), which oversees the development of proposed Semantic Web standards.

With so much debate about what web 3.0 is, no wonder Wikipedia removed its entry.
