The term “Linked Data” refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. These best practices have been adopted by an increasing number of data providers over the last three years, leading to the creation of a global data space containing billions of assertions— the Web of Data. In this article, the authors present the concept and technical principles of Linked Data, and situate these within the broader context of related technological developments…

Linked Data, Towards Realizing the Web of Data: An Overview
TLDR
The basic ideas, techniques, and applications of the linked data initiative are surveyed in this paper and the authors discuss some Linked Data open issues and potential tracks to address these pending questions.
Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space
TLDR
This Synthesis lecture provides readers with a detailed technical introduction to Linked Data, including coverage of relevant aspects of Web architecture, as the basis for application development, research or further study.
Linked Open Data
TLDR
The term Linked Open Data refers to all data that is published on the Web according to a set of best practices, the Linked Data Principles, which propagate to set hyperlinks between data from different sources.
Best Practices of Consuming Linked Open Data
TLDR
The technical principles of linked data, the best practices of using Linked Data, some deployed Linked data applications and use cases to exploit the Web of Data are analyzed and explored.
Materializing the Web of Linked Data
This book explains the Linked Data domain by adopting a bottom-up approach: it introduces the fundamental Semantic Web technologies and building blocks, which are then combined into methodologies and…
Exploring Linked Data Through the Lens of Technical Services
  • J. Shelby
  • Computer Science, Political Science
  • 2017
TLDR
The article will begin with an introduction to linked data concepts, followed by a look at linked data technologies and publishing strategies, and thoughts on how the library community can contribute to the linked data effort.
FRBR and Linked Data: Connecting FRBR and Linked Data
TLDR
Context and potential for seizing this advantage of Tim Berners-Lee's “rules” underlying the Open Linked Data Project offer an opportunity for FRBR-compliant, quality bibliographic data to be exposed to the digital universe via the Semantic Web.
Linked data: what is it and why should you care?a
TLDR
This paper explores how linked data is being used in libraries and related institutions in Australia and globally and what makes some projects more successful than others.
Diachronic linked data: towards long-term preservation of structured interrelated information
TLDR
It is argued that a number of issues, which hinder applications and users, are related to the temporal aspect that is intrinsic in Linked Data.
Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space
TLDR
This talk will discuss how the openness and self-descriptiveness of Linked Data provide for splitting data integration costs between data publishers, data consumers and third parties and thus might enable global-scale data integration in an evolutionary, pay-as-yougo fashion.

How to Publish Linked Data on the Web - Proposal for a Half-day Tutorial at ISWC2008
TLDR
This tutorial will provide participants with a solid foundation from which to begin publishing Linked Data on the Web, as well as to implement applications that consume Linked data from the Web.
Discovering and Maintaining Links on the Web of Data
TLDR
The Silk --- Linking Framework is presented, a toolkit for discovering and maintaining data links between Web data sources and allows data sources to exchange both linksets as well as detailed change information and enables continuous link recomputation.
Provenance and Linked Data in Biological Data Webs
TLDR
This paper highlights the importance of keeping provenance information about the links between data items from difierent sources, and proposes the use of named graphs to make a provenance statement about each pair of linked data items and each release of a data web.
Silk - A Link Discovery Framework for the Web of Data
TLDR
The Silk - Link Discovery Framework is presented, a tool for finding relationships between entities within different data sources and features a declarative language for specifying which types of RDF links should be discovered between data sources as well as which conditions entities must fulfill in order to be interlinked.
Adding eScience Assets to the Data Web
TLDR
This work presents a mechanism to identify and describe aggregations of Web resources that has resulted from the Open Archives Initiative - Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) project, and ensures the integration of the products of scholarly research into the Data Web.
Linked Movie Data Base
TLDR
The Linked Movie Database project provides a demonstration of the first open linked dataset connecting several major existing movie web resources, and provides additional RDF metadata about the quality of the links and the techniques used for deriving them.
A declarative framework for semantic link discovery over relational data
TLDR
This framework is based on declarative specification of the linkage requirements by the user, that allows matching data items in many real-world scenarios to be translated to queries that can run over the relational data source.
Provenance Information in the Web of Data
TLDR
This paper discusses provenance of data on the Web and proposes a suitable provenance model, which represents data access, a dimension of provenance that is particularly relevant in the context of Web data.
Tabulator Redux: Browsing and Writing Linked Data
TLDR
A first category of Semantic Web browsers was designed to present a given dataset (an RDF graph) for perusal in various forms and the challenge of once that data is gathered, how might it be edited, extended and annotated has so far been left largely unaddressed.
Media Meets Semantic Web - How the BBC Uses DBpedia and Linked Data to Make Connections
TLDR
Current projects, ongoing development, and further research are described in a joint collaboration between the BBC, Freie Universitat Berlin and Rattle Research in order to use DBpedia as the controlled vocabulary and semantic backbone for the whole BBC.
