Abstract

Linked Data and REST have significant consistency on key principles. It draws widespread discussion in the international academic research group, and W3C also organizes related working group to study their integration practices. With the comparative analysis of world view, core elements and technical details, this paper deeply depicts the relations and differences between linked data and REST and proposes the research problems and difficulties, to lay the foundation to avoid "Rashomon" phenomenon in application practices.
