“…Requiring perfectly accurate and complete data linkages for the use of any linked data sources would prevent more widespread adoption of linked data initiatives. With its ability to model context around entities and to relate entities across different domains and data sources, the linked data framework aligns well with established user expectations for search: that a search box surfaces the most relevant results and provides contextual data to help users navigate to and discern between results (Dempsey 2012;Diao 2018).
