Linked data is a set of best practices for publishing and deploying instance and class data using the RDF data model. Two of the best practices are to name the data objects using uniform resource identifiers (URIs), and to expose the data for access via the HTTP protocol. Both of these practices enable the Web to become a distributed database, which also means that Web architectures can also be readily employed. It is not an end in itself, a manifesto for "open data", or a substitute for the semantic Web. It is a useful and recommended practice (technique), but nothing more [1]. ;) Mike [1] http://structureddynamics.com/linked_data.html >> >> What is the context in which you need to make the distinction? >> > > The context is purely in discussion format; when I'm talking about > "Linked Data" - if I first explain it to mean "linked data"; then talk > about it being made public as "linked open data" (leaving the > private/public what to publish bit out of it) then to what do I refer to > the overall tech-stack as? everything that comes with it eg: > > - Linked Data, RDF, SPARQL, REST, Quad-Stores, REST, Ontologies, OWL2, > EAV/CR, FOAF+SSL, HTTP, URIs etc > > A name for the above as a whole. > > Many Regards, > > Nathan > > ps: I'm aware I wrote REST twice, but for some reason it seemed amusing > to leave it in..?! > > > -- __________________________________________ Michael K.
