In recent years, the core of the Semantic Web has evolved to a conceptual layer built by a set of ontologies mapped onto data distributed in numerous data sources which are interlinked, interpreted and processed in terms of semantics. In this context federated querying of Linked Data becomes a central issue. This paper presents the federated query engine ELITE, which facilitates a complete and transparent integration and querying of distributed autonomous data sources.
