The Library of Congress Authorities and Vocabularies service enables both humans and machines to programmatically access authority data at the Library of Congress via URIs.
The Talis Connected Commons scheme is intended to directly support the publishing and reuse of Linked Data in the public domain by removing the costs associated with those activities.
Die Erstkatalogisierungs-ID (auch Erstkatalogisierer-Identifikationsnummer, EKI) ist ein Identifikator für Katalogeinträge, der verbundübergreifend in Deutschland und Österreich vergeben wird. Ziel der EKI ist es, alle Titelaufnahmen zu ein und derselben Publikation datenbankübergreifend und dauerhaft identifizieren zu können.
We believe that dedicating data to the public domain is the best way to ensure that data is universally reusable and remixable. When data is public domain it means that it can be reused automatically without needing to check terms and conditions or track the source of every statement to provide attribution. These kinds of things act as friction to reuse, wasting energy that could be better spent creating inspiring things.
The Semantic Web, a knowledge-centric model for the Web's future, supplements human-readable documents and XML message formats with data that can be understood and processed by machines. SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL) is to the semantic Web as SQL is to a relational database. It allows applications to make sophisticated queries against distributed RDF databases, and is widely supported by many competing frameworks. This tutorial demonstrates its use through the example of a team tracking and journaling system for a virtual company.
"Current Linked Data is therefore useful for linking data ... But, these instance-level links lack context and a conceptual framework for inferencing ... For these purposes, Linked Data needs a class structure: UMBEL provides this new dimension."

LODUM is an internally funded project at University of Muenster, Germany, with the goal to make the university’s research data available as Linked Data. We are just starting and we will be using this blog to keep track of our progress.
mashpoint is a framework that allows data rich apps to be connected and browsed in a new way. It allows selections of data from one app to be inputed in other apps, improving discovery of information on a more granular level.
Designed and produced by the World Wide Web Foundation, the Web Index is the world’s first multi-dimensional measure of the Web’s growth, utility and impact on people and nations.
The BBC’s website for the 2010 World Cup was notable for the raw amount of rich information that it contained. Every player on every team in every group had their own web page, and the ease with which you could navigate from one piece of content to the next was remarkable. Within the Semantic Web community, the website was notable for one more reason: it was made possible by the BBC’s embrace of Semantic Web technologies.. Topic: Information Management
LodLive project provides a demonstration of the use of Linked Data standards (RDF, SPARQL) to browse RDF resources. The application aims to spread linked data principles using a simple and friendly interface with reusable techniques.
AboutThisDay.com is a date based 'on this day in history' style search engine of facts like births and deaths of people, events and holidays. You can refine the results using year range and category filters and the results are sorted using a home-grown popularity algorithm

Linked Data is about using the Web to connect related data that wasn't previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods. More specifically, Wikipedia defines Linked Data as "a term used to describe a recommended best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF."
This radial browser was designed to display complex concept network structures in a snappy and intuitive manner. It can be used to visualize conceptual structures, social networks, or anything else that can be expressed in nodes and links.
