The Semantic Web Once upon a time. . . The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related, data. http: //www. flickr. com/photos/pixelydixel/2713803038/

Evolution of World Wide Web Richness of data connections Semantic Web era Rule Interchange Linked Data WWW Database Web 3. 0 WWW era 2010 -2020 SPARQL ATOM RDF/OWL Cloud computing & Saa.

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 http: //linkeddata. org/
