Here’s a great introduction to the concept of Linked Data and how it’s proponents, most notably Sir Tim Berners-Lee, say it will the change the web as we know it. At core the concept is about connecting currently disjointed data and by doing so creating the access and environment through which to unlock new value, meaning and understanding.

If the world wide web originally created the framework that unleashed human-computable information (nice looking documents), then Linked Data will do the same for machine-crunching volumes.

To find out more here’s Tim Berners-Lee’s talk at TED earlier this year,
