Linked DataA collection of interrelated datasets on the Web can also be referred to as Linked Data. A typical case of a large Linked Dataset is DBPedia, which, essentially, makes the content of Wikipedia available in RDF. Linked data is possible when data on the Web is available in a standard format, reachable and manageable by Semantic Web tools. The collection of Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, etc.) provides an environment where applications can query that data, draw inferences using vocabularies, etc. https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data W3C > Standards > definition

Linked Open Data (LOD)Definition: Linked Open Data (LOD) defines a vision of globaly
accessible and linked data on the internet based on the RDF standards of
the semantic web. LOD is often thought of as a virtual data cloud where
anyone can access any data they are authorized to see and may also add
to any data without disturbing the original data source. This provides
an open environment where data can be created, connected and consumed on
internet scale. A basic theory of LOD is that data has more value if it
can be connected to other data. Data, in this context, is any
structured web-based information. | |
