The goal of Linked Data is to enable people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can share documents today.
The term Linked Data was coined by Tim Berners-Lee in his Linked Data Web architecture note.
The term refers to a style of publishing and interlinking structured data on the Web.
The basic assumption behind Linked Data is that the value and usefulness of data increases the more it is interlinked with other data. In summary, Linked Data is simply about using the Web to create typed links between data from different sources.
The basic tenets of Linked Data are to:
use the RDF data model to publish structured data on the Web
use RDF links to interlink data from different data sources

The glue that holds together the traditional document Web is the hypertext links between HTML pages. The glue of the data web is RDF links. An RDF link simply states that one piece of data has some kind of relationship to another piece of data. These relationships can have different types. For instance, an RDF link that connects data about people can state that two people know each other; an RDF link that connects information about a person with information about publications in a bibliographic database might state that a person is the author of a specific paper.

In 'Dereferencing HTTP URIs' the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) distinguish between two kinds of resources: information resources and non-information resources (also called 'other resources') . This distinction is quite important in a Linked Data context. All the resources we find on the traditional document Web, such as documents, images, and other media files, are information resources. But many of the things we want to share data about are not: People, physical products, places, proteins, scientific concepts, and so on. As a rule of thumb, all “real-world objects” that exist outside of the Web are non-information resources.

This document defines a vocabulary and processing model for a configurable API layer intended to support the creation of simple RESTful APIs over RDF triple stores. The API layer is intended to be deployed as a proxy in front of a SPARQL endpoint to support: Generation of documents (information resources) for the publishing of Linked Data Provision of sophisticated querying and data extraction features, without the need for end-users to write SPARQL queries Delivery of multiple output formats from these APIs, including a simple serialisation of RDF in JSON syntax
