OpenLink Data Spaces (ODS)A distributed collaborative application platform that provides a "Linked Data Junction Box" for Web protocols accessible data across a myriad of data sources.
"Semantic Radar is a semantic metadata detector for Mozilla Firefox. It detects the presence of SIOC, FOAF and DOAP as well as generic RDF and RDFa data in a webpage, and displays icons in the browser's status bar when one of these data formats is found. By clicking on an icon the user can browse the RDF data in an online semantic browser. It looks for RDF auto-discovery links generated by data export plugins to discover semantic data."
The lod.euscreen.eu/resource/ pilot is an initial attemp of making the EUscreen content availiable as Linked Open Data on the web. It allows users not only to access and retrieve metadata from the EUScreen content,via standard Web technologies, but also to discover relevant data within the multitude of the available content and even to implement applications that integrate data from EUScreen collection.
"JSON-LD is a lightweight Linked Data format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is based on the already successful JSON format and provides a way to help JSON data interoperate at Web-scale. JSON-LD is an ideal data format for programming environments, REST Web services, and unstructured databases such as CouchDB and MongoDB."
RDF is a standard model for data interchange on the Web. RDF has features that facilitate data merging even if the underlying schemas differ, and it specifically supports the evolution of schemas over time without requiring all the data consumers to be changed. RDF extends the linking structure of the Web to use URIs to name the relationship between things as well as the two ends of the link (this is usually referred to as a "triple"). Using this simple model, it allows structured and semi-structured data to be mixed, exposed, and shared across different applications.
"HOBBIT aims at abolishing the barriers in the adoption and deployment of Big Linked Data by European companies, by means of open benchmarking reports that allow them to assess the fitness of existing solutions for their purposes. These benchmarks are based on data that reflects reality and measures industry-relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with comparable results using standardized hardware."
Paggr CMS - The widget-based Linked Data CMS
Paggr is a novel CMS that combines Linked Data with widgets and simple semantic agents. It simplifies the intuitive creation of ad-hoc mashups from the growing amount of structured and self-describing ("smart") data on the Web.
Vapour is a validation service to check whether semantic web data is correctly published according to the current best practices, as defined by the Linked Data principles, the Best Practice Recipes and the Cool URIs.
"Semantic Search on Linked Data
Here you can search across more than 30 million resources contained in the thousands of semantically enriched Open Access Document Repositories and Data Repositories included in the CHAIN Knowledge Base. Search results are ranked according to the Ranking Web or Repositories. Some exemplar keywords are: cardiology, cell, cornea, geology, linked data, natural gas."

Information Workbench for a World Where All Data is Linked!
Pursuing the goal to lower the entry barrier into the world of Linked Data and to leverage its benefits, the Information Workbench™ provides a Web-based open platform for Linked Data solutions in the enterprise.
This site is a demonstrator of the Information Workbench, a platform for Linked Data application development. Designed as a self-service platform, the Information Workbench provides you with all the tools and features you need to quickly build your personal Linked Data applications. If you are interested in background information, please visit the Information Workbench Product page.
Linked Data Applications
This page collects information about (Web) applications on top of linked data. We discuss issues and ideas here and report on already available LOD applications ranging from low-level tools (mainly for developer) to applications targeting end-users (that is, your Granny).
The page is part of the Linking Open Data
"The goal of Apache Marmotta is to provide an open implementation of a Linked Data Platform that can be used, extended and deployed easily by organizations who want to publish Linked Data or build custom applications on Linked Data."
DERI's Linked Data Research Centre (LiDRC) is organised into research themes addressing certain aspects of Linked Data publishing and consuming. You can find the current research themes in the table below or have a look at the LiDRC Lab, a collection of tools and services we are working on.
This note intents to guide the interested reader to publishing and consuming linked data with RDFa. As a matter of fact, RDFa is a quite natural way to expose linked data. Let as assume we want to express the authorship of this note:
As the Semantic Web (sometimes called Web 3.0) emerges, the US government is pleased to be in the vanguard of this new technology space. To this end, Data.gov is hosting demonstrations and documents that will help familiarize Data.gov users with this new technology, and that will let citizens and developers work with the government in creating a new generation of "linked data" mash ups.
The Linked Data paradigm has therefore evolved from a practical research idea into a very promising candidate for addressing one of the biggest challenges in the area of intelligent information management: the exploitation of the Web as a platform for data and information integration in addition to document search. To translate this initial success into a world-scale disruptive reality, encompassing the Web 2.0 world and enterprise data alike, the following research challenges need to be addressed: improve coherence and quality of data published on the Web, ...
