Linking Open Data

September 2nd, 2007 10:21 PM
The Linking Open Data project recently struck me as very similar to the early web, when it made sense to publish periodic updates to what interesting new data had been made available. (For some reason, the release of THOMAS in early 1995 sticks out in my mind from a ‘what’s new on the web’ column in Boardwatch magazine.) For example, really great that this past Friday saw the GovTrack.us data added to the mix with dereferencable URIs. Lots and lots of interesting semantic data being added to this particular web.
