Abstract

Abstract
Since its inception, the web is changing and evolving continuously to make the web more structured and accessible. It has evolved through the “web of hypertexts” into “web of data” where the data gets the primary citizenship of the web. Linked Data is a data-publishing technique that enables related data to be connected and easily accessible using common Web technologies. The data published could be read and interpreted not only by humans but also by machines. Thus linked open data seeks to enhance the capacity of web from mere a data-storehouse to an intelligent, responsive web that compliments human inquest. The following study elaborates various aspects of linked open data and its implementation to enhance library services to the community.
Keywords: Linked data, Linked Open Data, Libraries, Community Libraries
