Published AthenaPlus D4,2 Review on linked open data sources
2013-10-11
The objective of this deliverable is to provide an overview of the Linked Open Data (LOD) sources that could be used for linking the AthenaPlus content.
The report is composed of five parts: It starts with a brief introduction to Linked (Open) Data with focus on some technical and formal aspects (chapter 2). The following part presents the results of a survey among the AthenaPlus partners on Linked Open Data (chapter 3). Then selected approaches to find LOD sources and gather descriptive information about them as requested for the deliverable are described (chapter 4). Subsequently the core list of LOD sources identified as candidates is presented. This includes general and technical details for the data sources examined, including the type of content described, the amount of resources served and the protocols supported for consuming data as far as they were determinable (chapter 5), and is followed by some conclusions (chapter 6). The results of this deliverable will directly inform further work in task 4.3 and the related deliverable D4.6.
