Linked Data
Tim Berners-Lee 4 Rules
1. Use URIs as names for things 2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. 3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information,
using the standards (RDF, SPARQL) 4. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more
things. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
