Abstract

A large amount of semi structured data is now made available on the Web in form of RDF, RDFa and Microformats. In this chapter, we discuss a general model for the Web of Data and, based on our experience in Sindice.com, we discuss how this is reflected in the architecture and components of a large scale infrastructure. Aspects such as data collection, processing, indexing, ranking are touched, and we give an ample example of an applications built on top of said infrastructure.

The authors’ names are listed in alphabetical order for convenience. This was a fully collaborative effort.
