The document discusses developing Linked Data and Semantic Web applications. It begins with key concepts related to Linked Data, the Semantic Web, and applications. It then describes two key steps in developing such applications: publishing data as Linked Data and consuming Linked Data to build applications. Examples are provided of extracting, enriching, and linking different datasets to build a real estate recommendation application that performs semantic searches over the integrated data. Ontologies are created and reused to represent the domains and support interoperability. The document emphasizes integrating the data and software engineering perspectives in developing Semantic Web applications.
