Topological properties of the Linked Open Data Webgraph

Topological properties of the Linked Open Data Webgraph
In this paper, we present an experimental study of the connectivity properties of the Linked Open Web of Data. Using these connectivity properties, we attempt to discern structure out of the basic elements, i.e. the datasets, and the linkages between them. We report our experimental findings of its topological properties, such as its degree centrality, geodesics, prestige, and its density. Understanding the Open Data Webgraph structure is important for a number of applications such as effective linked data consumption, federated querying, querying optimisation, and reachability analysis.

Abstract

In this paper, we present an experimental study of the connectivity properties of the Linked Open Web of Data. Using these connectivity properties, we attempt to discern structure out of the basic elements, i.e. the datasets, and the linkages between them. We report our experimental findings of its topological properties, such as its degree centrality, geodesics, prestige, and its density. Understanding the Open Data Webgraph structure is important for a number of applications such as effective linked data consumption, federated querying, querying optimisation, and reachability analysis.
