4. What is Linked Open Data? 04 Web of data made available with a common format (RDF) where the data and the relationships between the data can be queried. RDF is a machine-readable language for representing information about resources in the World Wide Web. RDF allows us to make statements about resources using three elements: Subject, Object and Predicate (triple). Subject (“Hadleigh Castle”), a Predicate (“carried out by”), and an Object (“John Constable”). MCN 2014 SEMANTIC WEB INITIATIVES – MAKING LINKED OPEN DATA REAL @edgartdata

5. How is it different from relational databases? 05 LOD uses URIs for names of resources Predicates make explicit the nature of the relationship between the resources LOD creates a network of knowledge MCN 2014 SEMANTIC WEB INITIATIVES – MAKING LINKED OPEN DATA REAL @edgartdata
