Linked data is a concept in the field of data management and semantic web technologies that involves creating a network of interlinked datasets using standardized formats and protocols. This approach aims to make data more interconnected, easily discoverable, and reusable across different applications and domains. By using unique identifiers and linking data together, users can navigate through related information and extract insights from interconnected datasets. Linked data is often used in various domains, including data integration, data sharing, and knowledge representation.
