Linked Data according to Tim Berners-Lee (2006)• Use URIs as names for things
• Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.
• When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information.
• Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things.

Data 3.0 (a Manifesto for Platform Agnostic Structured Data)
according to Kingsley IdehenAn "Entity" is the "Referent" of an "Identifier."
• An "Identifier" SHOULD provide a global, unambiguous, and unchanging (though it MAY be opaque!) "Name" for its "Referent".
• A "Referent" MAY have many "Identifiers" (Names), but each "Identifier" MUST have only one "Referent".
• Structured Entity Descriptions SHOULD be based on the Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) Data Model, and SHOULD therefore take the form of one or more 3-tuples (triples), each comprised of:◦ an "Identifier" that names an "Entity" (i.e., Entity Name),◦ an "Identifier" that names an "Attribute" (i.e., Attribute Name), and◦ an "Attribute Value", which may be an "Identifier" or a "Literal".
• Structured Descriptions SHOULD be CARRIED by "Descriptor Documents" (i.e., purpose specific documents where Entity Identifiers, Attribute Identifiers, and Attribute Values are clearly discernible by the document's intended consumers, e.g., humans or machines).
• Structured Descriptor Documents can contain (carry) several Structured Entity Descriptions• Stuctured Descriptor Documents SHOULD be network accessible via network addresses (e.g.,
HTTP URLs when dealing with HTTP-based Networks).• An Identifier SHOULD resolve (de-reference) to a Structured Representation of the Referent's
Structured Description.

Design a thing by considering it in its next largest context - a chair in at room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, environment in a city plan.

How APIs suck...• We have made quite a few of them...
• Bigger demand for APIs than we could meet.
• APIs tend to limit use to what was intended by the creator of the API
• Context specific
• We would never, ourselves, be satisfied with having only API access to data
• APIs don’t give the full view
• ”What if there was a good way to provide all the data..? And all the relations..?”
