Governments around the world are increasingly moving to open up access to non-personal data, and high-profile examples of this trend include the United States’ data.gov and the Canadian city of Vancouver. Building upon - and moving beyond - this trend is the broader concept of Linked Data. Built upon established specifications from the Semantic Web community and strongly backed by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Linked Data offers a vision in which public sector information is unambiguously published to the Web in a manner that makes it easy for conforming systems elsewhere to incorporate - and understand - the data.
