Four Rules of Linked Data

"Linked Data Principles"

1. Use URIs as names for things
    

2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names
    

3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF*, SPARQL)
    

4. Include links to other URIs so that they can discover more things
