The dawn of the digital universe
• From 2013 to 2020, the digital universe will grow from
4.4 trillion gigabytes to 44 zettabytes, or 44 trillion
gigabytes. It more than doubles every two years

Open Data & Linked Open Data today (1/2)
• In recent years, publishing and using open data has
seen an increasing spread worldwide
• Access to information, possible thanks to the open data,
has the potential to create significant economic
benefits, improving knowledge, awareness and
democratic participation of citizens and through this
facilitate and promote social change
• The Linked Open Data, in turn, provide an approach to
publishing Web-based data which promotes data
discovery, reuse and governance through the entire
lifecycle of data

Open Data & Linked Open Data today (2/2)
However, there remain some challenges and barriers
• cost of publishing resources
• required skills
• speed of publishing new datasets and updating existing
6
datasets
• cost of developing applications that use open data
• complexity of developing applications that use open
data
• reuse of open data

Linked Data: definition
• The term Linked Data refers to a set of ‘best practices’
to publish and link data on the web
• Is used to describe a method to expose, share and link
data trough dereferenceable URI
• Technically Linked Data refers to data published on the
Web in a machine-readable, the meaning of which is
explicitly defined, linked to other external data sets, and
other external datasets may in turn refer
• Linked Data is part of Semantic Web

Linked Open Data as RDF statements
• Series of RDF (Resource Description Framework)
8
statements
– Subject / predicate / object
– The statement is based on URI-s
Example
• Decameron was created by Boccaccio
– http://nektar.oszk.hu/data/manifestation/2804140
(Decameron)
– http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator (was created by )
– http://viaf.org/viaf/64002165 (Boccaccio)

Linked Open Data advantages
• The linked data is built on the current Internet
9
architecture
• It is machine readable
• The data can be easily connected
• Represents data and not just text
• The RDF is not domain specific. It is a worldwide API
to data
– Galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) can step
outside of their domain, their data can interact with the data of
other domains

Usage of Linked Open Data
• Smart search
• Data enrichment
• Solving problems more easily
• Expressing difficult relationships
• Standards based on linked data
