The document discusses Linked Open Data (LOD) and its applications in e-government and commercial publishing. It describes a LOD2 project demo application that allows searching legislative documents from the CELLAR database using SPARQL queries. Metadata about the documents, including licenses, can be retrieved in different formats. The documents and metadata can be integrated with other vocabularies like EUROVOC. This allows the content to be reused, with references to the original sources, in applications and products from commercial publishers.
The demo application shows how LOD allows more direct access to primary sources of content and metadata, and helps publishers enhance their offerings by linking to and reusing this open data.
