C RDF Validation Results. OpenCyc. Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space. This book gives an overview of the principles of Linked Data as well as the Web of Data that has emerged through the application of these principles.
The book discusses patterns for publishing Linked Data, describes deployed Linked Data applications and examines their architecture. The World Wide Web has enabled the creation of a global information space comprising linked documents. As the Web becomes ever more enmeshed with our daily lives, there is a growing desire for direct access to raw data not currently available on the Web or bound up in hypertext documents. Linked Data provides a publishing paradigm in which not only documents, but also data, can be a first class citizen of the Web, thereby enabling the extension of the Web with a global data space based on open standards - the Web of Data. Introducing Linked Data And The Semantic Web. Next: Introducing Graph Data What is Linked Data and the Semantic Web and what is all the hype about?
Principally, the Semantic Web is a Web 3.0 web technology - a way of linking data between systems or entities that allows for rich, self-describing interrelations of data available across the globe on the web. In essence, it marks a shift in thinking from publishing data in human readable HTML documents to machine readable documents. That means that machines can do a little more of the thinking work for us.
