Thus, we have two literal labels for the same core Concept. HTTP is the enabling protocol for "Hyper-linking" Documents and associated Structured Data via the World Wide Web (Web for short). Data Links associated with Structured Data contained in, or hosted by, Documents on the Web.\n\nRDFa, eRDF, GRDDL, SPARQL Query Language, SPARQL Protocol (SOAP or REST service), SPARQL Results Serializations (XML or JSON) collectively provide a myriad of unobtrusive routes to structured data embedded within, or associated with, existing Web Documents.\nAs Danny already states, ontologies are not prerequisites for producing structured data using the RDF Data Model. They simply aid the ability to express one's self clearly (i.e. no repetition or ambiguity) across a broad audience of machines (directly) and their human masters (indirectly).\nUsing the crux of this post as the anecdote: The Semantic Data Web would simplify the process of claiming and/or proving that Linked Data and Hyperdata describe the same concept. It achieves this by using Triples (Subject, Predicate, Object) expressed in various forms (N3, Turtle, RDF/XML etc.) to formalize claims in a form palatable to electronic agents (machines) operating on behalf of Humans. In a nutshell, this increases human productive by completely obliterates the erstwhile exponential costs of discovering data, information, and knowledge.\nBTW - for full effect, view this post (i.e. cut and paste the Permalink URI of this post, below) into an RDF Browser such as:\n-\nOpenLink RDF Browser\n\n-\nZitgist Browser\n\n-\nDISCO\n\n-\nTabulator\n\n" ; atom:title "Web of Linked Data & Hyperdata" . @prefix ns10: . sioc:has_creator ns10:this ; sioc:has_container . @prefix dbpedia: . sioc:links_to dbpedia:RDFa . @prefix ns12: . sioc:links_to ns12:me , dbpedia:GRDDL , . @prefix ns13: . sioc:links_to ns13:confused-about-the , dbpedia:Representational_State_Transfer , dbpedia:Resource_Description_Framework , dbpedia:JSON , dbpedia:Notation_3 , , dbpedia:XML , dbpedia:SOAP , dbpedia:SPARQL , , , . @prefix ns14: . sioc:links_to ns14:HTTP , , . @prefix ns15: . sioc:links_to ns15:tim , dbpedia:Linked_Data , dbpedia:Semantic_Web . @prefix ns16: . sioc:links_to ns16:tab ; atom:source ; atom:author ns1:this ; atom:published "2007-09-19T18:46:08Z" ; atom:updated "2008-02-05T01:43:55Z" ; sioc:has_reply . @prefix opl: . opl:isDescribedUsing . rdf:type atom:Entry , sioct:Comment ; rdfs:label "Re:Web of Linked Data & Hyperdata" . ns10:this rdf:type sioc:User . @prefix rdf: . @prefix ns1: . @prefix foaf: . ns1:this rdf:type foaf:Person ; foaf:made . @prefix atom: . rdf:type atom:Feed . @prefix sioct: . rdf:type sioct:Weblog . @prefix rdfs: . rdfs:label "kidehen@openlinksw.com's BLOG [127] description" . @prefix sioc: . sioc:container_of ; atom:entry ; atom:contains . rdf:type atom:Entry , sioct:Comment ; rdfs:label "Re:Web of Linked Data & Hyperdata" ; sioc:reply_of . @prefix ns7: . ns7:this rdf:type sioc:User ; sioc:creator_of .
