How to link data into the “Semantic” Web
1. Publish your data on the Web.
2. Use Web addresses (URIs) as names for things.
3. Tag your resources with URIs (Agrovoc!).
4. Pointing to related resources with URIs.
See: http://aims.fao.org/sites/default/files/CIARD-2011-06-10.pdf http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

Recipe for Linking your Data
1. Decide what bits of your data are most important (eg, Subject, Author, Publisher…).
2. Whenever possible, use URIs (eg, Agrovoc terms) to name those things.
3. Publish your data in RDF on the Web, where others can link to it.
4. Keep it simple. Simple solutions can be enough to yield good results.
