The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data
on the web.
It is about making links, so that a person or
machine can explore the web of data.
With linked data, when you have some of it,
you can find other, related, data.

16. Expectations to Make the Web

Grow:
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.
