Linked-Data Quotes and Testimonials
Semantic interoperability changes the technological and economic nature of metadata
opening up exciting opportunities for value creation in various commercial and
non-commercial areas. Linked Data is the blueprint for this new ecosystem and it
will change the way we think about and use the web today.

"An internet of data opens up tremendous opportunities for our corporate and government
customers. We intend to be on the forefront of this evolution."

The Linked Data paradigm is a simple and efficient way for integration of heterogeneous
information on the Web. Ultimately, we will, for example, be able to search for a
new appartment and a close-by available spot in child care in one go.

Linked (Open) Data technologies offer a new way of data integration for the enterprise!
Smooth interoperability between internal data sets can reduce costs as well as the enrichment
of these data sets by external data can support new market intelligence paradigms for a
better decision making.

Linked (Open) Data will change the existing publishing paradigms! Creating
high quality content for professional usage will remain an important factor in future publishing, but
additional access points and new usage environments will equally define its success.

15 years ago we all were excited when we published HTML for the first time and
it didn't take a long time until all of us were "on the internet". Now we are starting
to publish data on the web. Based on semantic web technologies professional data
management will be possible in distributed environments generating even more network
effects than Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 ever did. Semantic Web Company is very happy to be
part of LOD2 (Linked Open Data) project which will shape the Web of Data as infrastructure for many
new web applications.

I foresee two things happening with Linked Data. One is from the web development perspective
(the so-called Web 2.0 developers) and the other is from the enterprise perspective. The web
development community will sooner than later realize that Linked Data will enable easy integration
of data and therefore will ease the pain of consuming data from different data sources. ... From
the enterprise perspective, Linked Data is another data integration solution. ... Imagine being able
to query 'get all my clients from cities whose population is greater than 1 million' even though I don't
have the data about population of cities in my database.
