“Linked Data Basic Profile 1.0” published as a W3C Member Submission

The “Linked Data Basic Profile 1.0” specification has been published as a W3C Member Submission, co-authored by experts from IBM, DERI, EMC, Oracle, Red Hat, SemanticWeb.com, and Tasktop. This specification defines a set of best practices and a simple approach for a read-write Linked Data architecture, based on HTTP access to web resources that describe their state using RDF. The specification builds on the four principles Tim Berners-Lee used to define “Linked Data” and provides some new rules as well as clarifications and extensions to achieve greater interoperability between Linked Data implementations.
