What  is  Linked  Open  Data?  Data  published  by  exis0ng  internet  protocols  that  use  a  URI  (Unique  Resource  Indicator)  as  the  primary  discoverable  en0ty  for  a  resource  (e.g.  person,  object,  web  page,  etc.)        THE  FIVE  STARS  OF  LOD:    ★  make  your  stuff  available  on  the  Web  (whatever  format)  under  an  open  license    ★★  make  it  available  as  structured  data  (e.g.,  Excel  instead  of  image  scan  of  a  table)    ★★★  use  non-­‐proprietary  formats  (e.g.,  CSV  instead  of  Excel)    ★★★★  use  URIs  to  iden0fy  things,  so  that  people  can  point  at  your  stuff    ★★★★★  link  your  data  to  other  data  to  provide  context
