- Linked data page
A Linked Data page is a
Web page that explicitly describes one or more "Things" (Objects ) viaHyperdata Links . Unlike traditional Web pageHypertext links, Hyperdata links exposeProperties (Attributes orRelationships ) andProperty Values associated with the "Things" in a page. Linked Data pages can be created by hand or generated dynamically (via aLinked Data Server orUser Agent ).You only need a single reference (a
URI orIRI ) to a Thing to experience the power of serendipitous data discovery offered by a Linked Data page.How is this different from a basic Web Page?
A typical Web page isn't endowed with links that explicitly describe anything. Its links simply expose unqualified associations with other documents on the Web.
Put differently, Linked Data Pages reveal explicit properties of "Things" while basic Web Pages are loosely "About Anything", requiring human interpretation and reasoning in order to attain clarity.
