Consuming multiple linked data sources: Challenges and Experiences

Consuming multiple linked data sources: Challenges and Experiences
Consuming multiple linked data sources: Challenges and Experiences
Linked Data has provided the means for a large number of considerable knowledge resources to be published and interlinked utilising Semantic Web technologies. However it remains difficult to make use of this ‘Web of Data’ fully, due to its inherently distributed and often inconsistent nature. In this paper we introduce core challenges faced when consuming multiple sources of Linked Data, focussing in particular on the problem of querying. We compare both URI resolution and federated query approaches, and outline the experiences gained in the development of an application which utilises a hybrid approach to consume Linked Data from the unbounded web.

Abstract

Linked Data has provided the means for a large number of considerable knowledge resources to be published and interlinked utilising Semantic Web technologies. However it remains difficult to make use of this ‘Web of Data’ fully, due to its inherently distributed and often inconsistent nature. In this paper we introduce core challenges faced when consuming multiple sources of Linked Data, focussing in particular on the problem of querying. We compare both URI resolution and federated query approaches, and outline the experiences gained in the development of an application which utilises a hybrid approach to consume Linked Data from the unbounded web.
