linkDATA
rather thanDOCUMENTS
Web of Data
but wait. haven’t we been doing that for years, now?
Web of Data
we have CSV, relational data, XML, key-value data, etc.
Web of Data
true. but it’s not about the surface or exchange syntax.
Web of Data
actually it isabout a data (RDF)
and naming (URI)
model on the Web.
Web of Data
back to Tim’s note from ‘98http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData
Web of Data
four principles are discussed, there.
Web of Data
(1)Use URIs to name things on the Web
Web of Data
and we really mean: use URIs for namingeverything you could think of
Web of Data
use URIsfor people, fruits, cars, drinks, islands, etc.but also for …
Web of Data
… abstract things such as love, war, statistics, genes, religion, etc.
Web of Data
(2)Use HTTP URIsallowing to look-up those names on the Web
Web of Data
when you d0 an HTTP GET (or: enter a URI into your browser’s address bar :) …
Web of Data
… ‘something’ is returned – in thebest case this isRDF – and one is happy.
Web of Data
(3)When someone looks-up a URI, provide useful information
Web of Data
(4)Include links to other URIs to allow discovery of more things
Web of Data
these ‘links’ are actuallyRDF propertiesinterpreted as hyperlinks.
