Linked Data
The impact of Linked Data will be greater
than the World Wide Web it builds upon.

Data Open and/or Linked
Data Open and/or Linked


1. Data can be open, while not being linked

2. Data can be linked, while not being open

3. Data which is both open and linked is increasingly viable

4. The Semantic Web can only function with data which is
   both open and linked
