Linked data

It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages only for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers.Part of the vision of linked data is for the Internet to become a global database.[13] The mailing list was initially hosted by the SIMILE project[14] at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[18] There are a number of European Union projects involving linked data.Some of the better known ontologies are: Clickable diagrams that show the individual datasets and their relationships within the DBpedia-spawned LOD cloud (as by the figures to the right) are available.

A network of over a thousand circles clustered into groups and linked with lines into a web. — Wikidata in the Linked Open Data Cloud. Databases indicated as circles (with wikidata indicated as ‘WD’), with grey lines linking databases in the network if their data is aligned. Generated from https://lod-cloud.net/datasets .

The above diagram shows which Linking Open Data datasets are connected, as of August 2014. This was produced by the Linked Open Data Cloud project, which was started in 2007. Some sets may include copyrighted data which is freely available. ^{[
