The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related, data.
The Open University is the first university in the UK to open up access to online data from across the institution as part of the Linked Open Data Movement.
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 site exists to provide a home for, or pointers to, resources from across the Linked Data community.
British National Bibliography (BNB) published as Linked Data by the British Library, linked to external sources including VIAF, LCSH, Lexvo, GeoNames, MARC country, and language, Dewey.info, RDF Book Mashup. Published to this data model for books and this data model for serials.
Current release of approximately 2.8 million descriptions (93,583,853 triples) of books (including monographs published over time) and serials published in the UK over the last 60 years. Future releases will extend coverage to include multipart works, integrating resources, kits and forthcoming publications. The objective is to create a regularly updated dataset covering UK publications since 1950.
The British National Bibliography (BNB) records the publishing activity of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and has been doing so since the 1950s. This has traditionally included printed works and has recently been extended to electronic publications. The dataset includes metadata about published books, already published and forthcoming, and serials i.e. journals, periodicals, magazines, newspapers, etc.
The Linked Open BNB is a subset of the full British National Bibliography. It currently includes published books and serial publications, representing approximately 2.8 million records.
The Linked Data Service provides access to commonly found standards and vocabularies promulgated by the Library of Congress. Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) has been actively maintained since 1898 to catalog materials held at the Library of Congress. By virtue of cooperative cataloging other libraries around the United States also use LCSH to provide subject access to their collections. In addition LCSH is used internationally, often in translation. LCSH in this service includes all Library of Congress Subject Headings, free-floating subdivisions (topical and form), Genre/Form headings, Children's (AC) headings, and validation strings* for which authority records have been created. This content is expanded beyond the print issue of LCSH (the 'red books') with inclusion of validation strings.
