ABSTRACT
Over the past 4 years, the semantic web activity has gained momentum with the widespread publishing of structured data as RDF. The Linked Data paradigm has therefore evolved from a practical research idea into a very promising candidate for addressing one of the biggest challenges in the area of the Semantic Web vision: the exploitation of the Web as a platform for data and information integration.
To translate this initial success into a world-scale reality, a number of research challenges need to be addressed. While many standards, methods and technologies developed within the Semantic Web activity are applicable for Linked Data, there are also a number of specific characteristics of Linked Data, which have to be considered. In this talk we present an overview of the Linked Data life-cycle and discuss some promising approaches with regard to extraction, storage and querying, authoring, linking, enrichment, quality analysis, evolution, as well as search and exploration of Linked Data.

The Emerging Web of Linked Data
Web APIs are slicing the Web into separate data silos because they don't rely on standardized mechanisms for identifying, retrieving, and representing data. To overcome this fragmentation, the Linked Data principles provide guidelines on how to use ...
Linking from Schema.org microdata to the Web of Linked Data
The increase of Linked Open Data (LOD) usage has grown in the last few years, and the number of datasets available is considerably higher. Taking this into account, another way to make data available is microdata, whose aim is to make information more ...
Using the relation ontology Metarel for modelling Linked Data as multi-digraphs
Linked Data for Health Care and the Life SciencesThe Semantic Web standards OWL and RDF are often used to represent biomedical information as Linked Data; however, the OWL/RDF syntax, which combines both, was never optimised for querying. By combining two formal paradigms for modelling Linked Data, ...
