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."
