RDF Triples

Resource Description Framework (RDF)

A general model of how any piece of data, and

representations of knowledge, can be expressed as

so called triples.

RDF Triples

Triples can be aggregated into graphs with subject

and objects as nodes, and predicates as arcs.

RDF Triples

Graphs of triples can be extended across different

sources and for different purpose.

RDF Triples

RDF Schema and the RDF based Web Ontology

Language (OWL) add a typing mechanism to

classify subjects and objects into hierarchies.

4 Principles for Linked Data … … and 5 stars for Linked Open Data

• Use URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) as names for things.

• Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up (dereference) those names.

• When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information.

• Include links to other URIs so that they can discover more things.

I’m encouraged by …

• … what actually can be done by applying Linked

Data principles, together with a stepwise

implementation and pragmatic application of

crucial building blocks, to …

• … improve the research and commercial

utility of information

• Organized for associations

• Prepared for not yet defined use

• Ready for automation where computers can

function alongside us to

Mitigate the complexity in discovering,

accessing, connecting and interpreting

information

Improve the productivity in managing

information
