The Linked Data initiative aims at improving data publication on the Web, thereby creating a “Web of Data”: an interconnected, distributed, global data space. The Web of Data enables people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can currently share documents on the Web of Documents (WWW). The availability of this global data space creates new opportunities for the exploitation of Artificial Intelligence techniques in relation with knowledge representation, information extraction, data mining, information integration, and intelligent agents. Two approaches can emerge: • Using AI techniques to address the problems the Web of Data faces • Using the design principles of the Web of Data to improve knowledge representation, publication and reasoning within AI techniques.
