Switch to light mode Vocabulary Specification for Linked Datasets Ontology
| Linked Datasets Ontology |
|---|
| URI | https://linked-datasets.phitech.consulting |
| Label | Linked Datasets Ontology |
| Comment | The Linked Dataset ontology has the purpose of making datasets with any sort, type and subject findable and queryable, and additionally to link the data inside various datasets. |
| Version info | v1.0 |

Abstract
The potential of the abundant data available is far from utilized. The semantic web concept aims to connect data on the web to increase availability and its usefulness. The Linked Datasets Ontology embodies this ambitious goal by providing a formal ontology to describing datasets and data inside. This way, the Linked Datasets Ontology enables querying over multiple datasets at once. A feature that harnesses the full power of RDF and OWL.
