Linked Data | Linked Data - Connect Distributed Data across the. Linked Data. An introductory overview of Linked Open Data in the context of cultural institutions. In computing, linked data (often capitalized as Linked Data) describes a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful. It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried.[1] Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium, coined the term in a design note discussing issues around the Semantic Web project.[2] Principles[edit] Tim Berners-Lee outlined four principles of linked data in his Design Issues: Linked Data note,[2] paraphrased along the following lines: All kinds of conceptual things, they have names now that start with HTTP.I get important information back.

Components[edit] European Union Projects[edit] Google - Semantic CrunchBase. Google RDF. Berlin RDF. Tetris. Tetris RDF. TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets - ESW Wiki. SWEO Community Project: Linking Open Data on the Semantic Web This page collects RDF data sets that are part of the emerging Web of Linked Data. Please note: This page is outdated For keeping the LOD cloud diagram up to date, the Linking Open Data community effort has started to collect meta-information about Linked datasets on CKAN, a registry of open data and content packages provided by the Open Knowledge Foundation. The meta-information from CKAN (and not from this page) is used to draw the LOD cloud diagram and to maintain statistics about the size of the Web of Linked Data. The list of Linked Dataset for which we have already collected meta-information on CKAN is found here: CKAN LOD Group Basic statistics about these datasets are provided at: A guide on how to describe your dataset on CKAN is found here: LOD CKAN Guidlines Thus, if you are publishing a Linked Dataset, please add meta-information about your dataset to CKAN.
