Linked Data Spaces & Data Portability.
Kingsley Idehen, Orri Erling · 2008
In the year 2007, the size of the Linked Data injected into the Web grew to several billion RDF triples, served by a network of interlinked data sources that cover domains such as general knowledge, geographic information, people, companies, online communities, films, music, books and scientific publications. Unfortunately, the growth rate of User Generated content from a variety of Web based unstructured and semi-structured data-silos continues to exceed that of structured Linked Data. Thus, we have a pressing need for technology, capable of bridging this broadening divide via transparent generation of Linked Data from existing data-silos on the Web. Our Linked Data technology demonstration explores the use of the OpenLink Data Spaces platform as a solution to this problem.
