The diagram visualizes the data sets in the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud as well as their interlinkage relationships. Each node in this cloud diagram represents a distinct data set published as Linked Data. The arcs indicate that Resource Description Framework (RDF) links exist between items in the two connected data sets. Heavier arcs roughly correspond to a greater number of links between two data sets, while bidirectional arcs indicate the outward links to the other exist in each data set.
Linked Data is about using the Web to connect related data that wasn’t previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods. More specifically, Wikipedia defines Linked Data as “a term used to describe a recommended best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF.”
This site exists to provide a home for, or pointers to, resources from across the Linked Data community.
