Abstract
The Semantic Web and, in particular, Linked Data, enable cross-database, cross-organizational and cross-domain links on a global scale. This paper introduces Linked Data projects that extract and apply location-related Linked Data, such as DBpedia. The case study of DBpedia Mobile, which provides a location-enabled Linked Data browser, is described. We conclude with examples of other applications, which can take advantage of location-related Linked Data from the Web.
