TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets - W3C 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 Please note: This page is outdated For keeping the LOD cloud diagram up to date, the Linking Open Data community effort has started to collect meta-information about Linked datasets on CKAN, a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.

A typical depiction of the need for open data: Creators of data often do not consider the need to state the conditions of ownership, licensing and re-use. I want my data back. Closed data[edit]
