How do we give meaning to the web?
By making the implicit information explicit
Linked Data
“Recommended best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting pieces of data,
information and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF”
Bizer, Christian; Heath, Tom; Berners-Lee, Tim (2009). "Linked Data—The Story So Far" (PDF). International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems 5 (3): 1–22. doi:
10.4018/jswis.2009081901. ISSN 1552-6283.
Principles of Linked Data
1. Use URIs as ‘names’ for things.2. Use http protocol for those URIs3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful
information.4. Provide links to other URIs to encourage
discovery.
A few quick definitions
URI - Uniform Resource Indicator Basic Identifier on the Web. ASCII Based.
IRI - Internationalized Resource Identifier New standard supports global languages
RDF - Resource Description Framework Method of modeling information on the web.
