Even if each source of information is open and linked,
If each source of information is written in bad style,
humans or machines can’t read it.
Readability for human is important because
humans have to be curate information in terms of data quality,
and humans want to consume for learning about biodiversity or making policies.
On the other hand, readability for machines is also important because,
Vast amount of species on this globe is represented in the style, what is called, “big-data”
and aid of the computers is needed for processing them.
Next, such kind of rdf information provided using the technique “content negotiation”.
If ordinal browser request text/html content-type information, the server returns HTML.
If the computer request RDF/XML content-type information,
The server redirect the machine to RDF resource.
This is the overview picture of LOD cloud in 2010.
There are already many LOD datasets and they link each other.
Let’s add biodiversity datasets more to this cloud.
