Linked Data Management

Synonyms

Linked data query processing; Web of data

Definitions

The term Linked Data refers to data that is made available on the Web in a structured, directly machine-processable form via the following four principles:

  1. 1.

    Use URIs as names for things

  2. 2.

    Use HTTP URIs so that people [and machines] can look up those names.

  3. 3.

    When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF, SPARQL)

  4. 4.

    Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things. (Berners-Lee 2006; Bizer et al. 2009)

Per these principles, given a URI that names something (e.g., a person, a book, a concept, an abstract idea ) [Principle 1], it is possible to look up this URI using the HTTP protocol [Principle 2] and retrieve a document with RDF data describing the thing [Principle 3]. This data may include other URIs to refer to other things, and these URIs can be looked up in the same manner [Principle 4].

Overview

When applying the abovementioned principles, data becomes...
