Abstract

Over the past years, the Linked Data principles have successfully been applied, resulting in the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud with over 200 datasets containing 26 billion statements, connected by 400 million typed links. Publishing into the LOD cloud is certainly a challenge, however various tutorials and guidelines exist. This tutorial addresses the consumption part, that is, it gives an introduction how to use data from the LOD cloud in Web applications. We start with simple access methods (follow-your-nose, using dumps) over querying LOD data using SPARQL, to client-side access in the browser (using JavaScript) as well as show the integration steps into a popular Content Management System (Drupal).
