The document discusses Linked Data and why it is important for libraries. It explains that Linked Data allows library data to be directly accessible on the web using URIs and RDF rather than proprietary protocols. This allows data from different libraries and sources to be interconnected in a Web of Data. The document provides an example of how bibliographic data for a book can be successively enriched by different libraries and sources until it is fully integrated into the Linked Data cloud and can be accessed and linked to from various applications.
