Iván Ruiz Rube presents an overview of Linked Open Data. He discusses how publishing structured data using open standards like RDF and SPARQL allows data to be interlinked and more useful. Ruiz Rube explains how to publish data as Linked Open Data using different patterns and how consuming Linked Data involves developing rich interfaces for humans and querying data for machines using SPARQL. The goal of Linked Open Data is to create new applications by linking open datasets on the web.
