Hi all, there was quite some interest in Linked Data at this year's World Wide Web Conference (WWW2007). Therefore, Richard Cyganiak, Tom Heath and I decided to write a tutorial about how to publish Linked Data on the Web, so that interested people can find all relevant information, best practices and references in a single place. The tutorial gives an overview about the general ideas behind Linked Data and answers questions like: How to name data items? Which vocabularies should I use to represent information? What should I return as RDF description for a URI? How to set RDF links to other data items? Afterwards, we describe several practical recipes for publishing information as Linked Data on the Web. The tutorial is found at http://sites.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/suhl/bizer/pub/LinkedDataTutorial/ The best practices that we recommend in the tutorial are based on the current work of the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) as well as on practical experience from the W3C SWEO Linking Open Data community project(http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData) which has published various datasets as Linked Data on the Web. Collectively, the datasets currently consist of over one billion RDF triples, which are interlinked by 250,000 RDF links. We are very interested in your opinion about the tutorial as well as about Linked Data in general. Especially, we would like to know: 1. If you strongly disagree with any of the recommended best practices? 2. Did we miss any useful tools or services in the practical recipes section?
