Linked Data is a set of best practices for publishing data on the Web using standardized data models (RDF) and access methods (HTTP), enabling easier integration of data from different sources compared to proprietary APIs. The Linked Data architecture is open and allows discovery of new data sources at runtime, allowing applications to take advantage of new available data. When publishing Linked Data, considerations include linking to other datasets, and providing provenance, licensing, and access metadata using common vocabularies. Linked Data principles can also be applied within intranets for data integration.
