Abstract

This paper explores the significance of Linked Data and the Semantic Web in the evolution of the web, specifically examining the implications of Linked Data technology and its implementation. Linked Data is viewed as a key technical approach for realizing the Semantic Web, transforming the web into an extensive database accessible to all. This technology fosters the creation of a knowledge network that facilitates interdisciplinary research and generates novel insights. However, its effectiveness relies heavily on the quality and consistency of the data, and it inherently involves the subjectivity of data processing. As we move forward, Linked Data must focus on the standardization and openness of data alongside technological advancements, while balancing these aspects with privacy concerns. Moreover, the adoption of this technology demands rigorous consideration of its ethical and social implications. The integration of Linked Data represents more than a mere technological shift; it promises substantial contributions to both academic research and industrial development. Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that the information society has not entirely supplanted traditional information access methods, emphasizing the need for critical engagement with and secure deployment of new technologies.
