Linked Data

Linked Data is a method to publish data on the Web and to interlink data between different data sources. Linked Data can be accessed using Semantic Web browsers, just as traditional Web documents are accessed using HTML browsers. However, instead of following document links between HTML pages, Semantic Web browsers enable surfers to navigate between different data sources by following RDF links. RDF links can also be followed by robots or Semantic Web search engines in order to crawl the Semantic Web. 

The DBpedia data set is interlinked with various other data sources. The diagram below gives an overview of some of these data sources:
