Semantic Web developers are building a framework to open up and connect organized information, which takes advantage of many popular developments on the web, such as the success of Wikipedia, Creative Commons-licensed publishing on sites like Flickr, and various blogs. A portion of this framework is the Linking Open Data (LOD) community initiative (seeded by the W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach group). A goal of LOD is to weave together separate collections of open data using deep linking and RDF (Resource Description Framework) representations.
