37. Wikipedia says…
“Linked Data describes a method of publishing
structured data, so that it can be interlinked and
become more useful. It builds upon standard
web technologies, such as HTTP and URIs - but
rather than using them to serve web pages for
human readers, it extends them to share
information in a way that can be read
automatically by computers.”
