Abstract

The quantity of data published on the Web according to principles of Linked Data is increasing intensely. However, this data is still largely limited to be used up by domain professionals and users who understand Linked Data technologies. Therefore, it is essential to develop tools to enhance intuitive perceptions of Linked Data for lay users. The features of Linked Data point to various challenges for an easy-to-use data presentation. In this paper, Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies are overviewed, challenges to the presentation of Linked Data is stated, and LOD Explorer is presented with the aim of delivering a simple application to discover triplestore resources. Furthermore, to hide the technical challenges behind Linked Data and provide both specialist and non-specialist users, an interactive and effective way to explore RDF resources.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The amount of uploaded data to the Web grows, due to the simple uploading process offered by World Wide Web (www) [1]. Exploratory search is a special information seeking method, where the goal of users is not essentially identified through the search process [4] In this approach, learning and investigation are more important for a user than retrievals of facts and replies to queries. The Semantic Web cannot be completed by only annotating the data on the Web, but the data has to be linked with each other so as the Web of data can be formed and be discovered by machines and people [9] Linked data makes it possible to discover related data of a term once only a subset is given.
