Linked Data [EPUB ebook] 
Structured data on the Web

Summary Linked Data presents the Linked Data model in plain, jargon-free language to Web developers. Avoiding the overly academic terminology of the Semantic Web, this new book presents practical techniques, using everyday tools like Java Script and Python.About this Book The current Web is mostly a collection of linked documents useful for human consumption. The evolving Web includes data collections that may be identified and linked so that they can be consumed by automated processes. The W3C approach to this is Linked Data and it is already used by Google, Facebook, IBM, Oracle, and government agencies worldwide.Linked Data presents practical techniques for using Linked Data on the Web via familiar tools like Java Script and Python. You’ll work step-by-step through examples of increasing complexity as you explore foundational concepts such as HTTP URIs, the Resource Description Framework (RDF), and the SPARQL query language. Then you’ll use various Linked Data document formats to create powerful Web applications and mashups.Written to be immediately useful to Web developers, this book requires no previous exposure to Linked Data or Semantic Web technologies.Purchase of the print book includes a free e Book in PDF, Kindle, and e Pub formats from Manning Publications.What’s Inside Finding and consuming Linked Data Using Linked Data in your applications Building Linked Data applications using standard Web techniques About the Authors David Wood is co-chair of the W3C’s RDF Working Group.
