This document provides an overview of linked data and its benefits. It discusses how linked data assigns unique identifiers to concepts and things and connects them with labeled relationships. This shifts the data integration workload to data providers. Linked data uses standards like URIs, RDF, and SPARQL to make data machine-readable and interlinked. For digital humanities, linked open data facilitates accessing and sharing data while reducing duplication of effort in data curation. It allows researchers to explore relationships between resources.
