Augmenting the web of data using referers

Abstract

Linked Data relies on one central concept: Typed links connect entities stored within data sets published by different individuals. Manual input and mapping are common techniques to create these links. We propose a novel method, where HTTP Referer information is used to create new links between Linked Data entities stored in different data sets. We evaluate our method using 27.86 million real-world log entries from web servers hosting Linked Data.
