The Semantic Web vision ambitions to create a large-scale, interconnected Web of machine-processable data in addition to the current Web of documents currently available online. Its most recent and visible incarnation - the Linked Data movement1 - is based on three main principles: using dereferenceable Web identifiers (HTTP URIs) to uniquely identify the various pieces of data online; providing semi-structured information - most often using standard formats like RDF [1] and OWL [2] - about the data when dereferencing the corresponding URIs; providing links to other, semantically related pieces of data.
