15. 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.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. The over 200 semantic web datasets currently contains over 25 billion triples of linked data and 400 million RDF links.http://linkeddata.org/14Killer apps with public data - a cloud of opportunity?Graphic by semanticwebcompany@ Flickr, CC BY-NC-SA
