Linked Open Data: The Essentials. A Quick Start Guide for Decision Makers

Edited by Florian Bauer and Martin Kaltenböck

This is a quick start guide for decision makers who need to quickly get up to speed with the Linked Open Data (LOD) concept, and who want to make their organization a part of this movement. It gives a quick overview of all key aspects of LOD, and gives practical answers to many pertinent questions including: What do the terms Open Data, Open Government Data and Linked Open Data actually mean, and what are the dierences between them?
What do I need to take into account in developing a LOD strategy for my organization? What does my organization need to do technically in order to open up and publish its data sets? How can I make sure the data is accessible and digestible for others? How can I add value to my own data sets by consuming LOD from other sources? What can be learned from three case studies of best practices in LOD? What are the potentials offered by this fundamental step-change in the way data is shared and consumed via the web?
