Towards Linked Data in Physics

Marcin Skulimowski

2013

Abstract

Linked Data refers to machine-understandable data published on the Web using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Publishing and linking data using RDF make data easier to discover and easier to use. Nowadays, Linked Data principles have gained popularity in many fields. In this paper we are going to examine the possibility of obtaining Linked Data in physics. In particular, we discuss the principles of Linked Data in the context of publications on physics and present examples of Linked Data in a branch of physics called quantum mechanics. Moreover we present a web tool supporting manual creation of Linked Data in domains in which automating extraction of the data is not possible.
