I repositioned the IRI sentence to sidestep the problematic claim that
all IRIs are URIs. It doesn't seem to flow very well, though.
*Linked Data*. "Linked Data" refers to data published in
accordance with
principles [2] designed to facilitate linkages among datasets,
element
sets, and value vocabularies. Linked Data uses (Web) Uniform
Resource
Identifiers (URIs) [3] and Internationalized Resource Identifiers
(IRIs) [4] -- Web addresses [5] that
support the non-Latin scripts of Unicode [6] -- as globally unique
identifiers for any kind of
resources. This is analogous to the library world's identifiers for
authority
control -- and provides data using standards such as the Resource
Description Framework (RDF) [7]. Linked Data defines
relationships between things -- relationships that can be used for
navigating between, or integrating, information from multiple
sources.
