Micro-cloud diagram for the Linked Ocean Data Cloud
The Linked Open DataCloud has been a popular visualization of the links between 5 Star Linked Data resources. In a similar manner, the Linked Ocean Data Cloud is an application of the ideas introduced recently by Andreas Blaumer, whose blog post presents an overview of the Clean Energy Linked Open Data Cloud and links to the German Library Linked Open Data Cloud. Executing a World Wide Web search for similar micro-Linked Open Data clouds quickly reveals the existence of a Linguistic Linked Open Data cloud.
We have assembled the relevant Linked Data resources of which we are aware, and have developed the diagram that can be seen in the figures. Where possible, URI links have been built between resources in order to expand the scope of the diagram as much as possible at this early stage. The diagram indicates those resources currently publishing high level Linked Data in RDF and those currently publishing to a lower Linked Data level.
