A presentation I gave at Strataconf 2012. I reviewed the concepts of Linked Data and argued that while the approach has come from the semantic web community, there are interesting parallels with efforts from Facebook and Schema.org. Linked Data provides a way for us to create resolvable identifiers + discover useful data by just using the web infrastructure more effectively.
