A brief discussion where to use Linked Open Data http-identifiers and where DOIs are more appropriate. And beyond: what do we really want? Where can we get more, if we use resolvable identifiers? What distinguishes a web from a database?
18. The Simple Rules
1. Use URIs as names for things
2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look
up those names.
3. When someone looks up a URI,
provide useful information, using the
standards (RDF*, SPARQL)
4. Include links to other URIs. so that
they can discover more things.
(Tim Berners-Lee , 2006,

19. Stable URI Identifier Patterns?
1. Anything goes!!!
2. It is just more or less difficult to keep stable
3. Google for: “Best practices for stable URIs”

26. Why Linked Open Data?
– Distributed Web Model
• using w3c standards (xml, rdf, owl)
• Machine usable data (automatic analysis & reasoning)
• Physical object, RDF, HTML linked (content negotiation)
27. Why Linked Open Data?
– Distributed Web Model
• using w3c standards (xml, rdf, owl)
• Machine usable data (automatic analysis & reasoning)
• Physical object, RDF, HTML linked (content negotiation)
– Anyone can say anything about anything, anywhere
• Usages that the data providers never anticipated
• Third parties connect concepts between data sets
• Particular needs contribute to global achievement

– Information managed at source plus annotated globally

– Information managed at source plus annotated globally
– Queries and other analysis can combine arbitrary sets of
data, anywhere and owned by anyone
– Common and diverse vocabularies can be used together
and related to each other (creativity, science!)
37. Take home message:
Implementing stable
SemWeb/LOD-compliant
URI identifiers NOW is not
a waste of resources should
we all decide to do DOIs!
