Open Data, defined as “data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone – subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share alike”[1]; andLinked Data, associated to the technical interoperability of data, which enables to connect data from a variety of sources (related to the Semantic Web architecture)[2].

Developments in Publishers’ Text and Data Mining (TDM) Policy | SPARC | Big Data + Libraries | Scoop.it
