What is Linked Data?
![Page 5: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Wikipedia says…
“Linked Data describes a method of publishing structured data, so that it can be interlinked
and become more useful. It builds upon standard web technologies, such as HTTP and
URIs - but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read
automatically by computers.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_Data
![Page 6: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The inventor of the Web said…
“I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all
the data on the Web – the content, links, and transactions between people and computers.”
Tim Berners-Lee, 1999

People can understand relationships between things.
But machines should be able to understand these relationships too.

We are used to connecting pieces of information based on their context.
Title: A Christmas CarolAuthor: Charles Dickens
Linked Data makes the relationships explicit.

Linked Data allows you to customize the Web.

How do we create Linked Data?
![Page 24: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Linked Data principles
Tim Berners-Lee, “Linked Data-Design Issues.” http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
Use URIs as names for
things
Use HTTP URIs so people can look up these names
When someone looks up a URI, provide
useful information, using the standards
Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more
things
![Page 25: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
URIs
For Linked Data, we need to be able to identify things uniquely
Uniform Resource Identifiers do this already
![Page 26: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
URIs
Using HTTP URIs is one of the principles of Linked Data
http://www.example.com/thing1
![Page 27: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
URIs
URIs are like control numbers (LCCN, ISBN, etc.).
![Page 28: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

With Linked Data, a bibliographic record is made up of many pieces of data.
And the relationships between these pieces of data are defined.

Different workflows
Catalogers could use URIs for things like authors’ names or subject headings.
If information changed, the URI could be changed and automatically update the
information in our catalogs.
![Page 72: What Is Linked Data, and What Does it Mean for Libraries? ALAO TEDSIG Spring Meeting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554bbb3fb4c90594278b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Evaluating metadata
Metadata could come from various sources.
“Professional cataloging might be more of a job of aggregating and improving harvested or
contributed metadata, rather than developing new metadata, like MARC records, for
resources.”-Virginia Schilling

Training and Software Development
“Nobody but the geekily inclined is going to be willing to invest the time and effort necessary to code semantically tagged web pages from
scratch.”

5 Stars of Open Linked Data
★ Available on the web (whatever format), but with an open license
★★ Available as machine-readable structured data (e.g. Excel instead of image scan of a table)
★★★ Available as (2) plus non-proprietary format (e.g. CSV instead of Excel)
★★★★ All the above plus, Use open standards from W3C (RDF and SPARQL) to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff
★★★★★ All the above, plus: Link your data to other people’s data to provide context
