This talk provides an overview of principles and methods of Linked Open Data (LOD) and discusses advantages as well as challenges of adopting a Linked Data approach to cultural data. Topics include the potential for applying LOD technology to cultural heritage data and LOD's practical uses for integrating, sharing, and reusing heterogeneous data from multiple sources. The development of Linked Jazz, an LOD project centered on jazz history digital archives, is only one of several real-world scenarios provided to ground the discussion.

- Knows the "five stars" of Open Data: put data on the Web, preferably in a structured and preferably non-proprietary format, using URIs to name things, and link to other data.
- Reuses published properties and classes where available.
- Understands that Linked Data (2006) extended the notion of a web of documents (the Web) to a notion of a web of finer-grained data (the Linked Data cloud).
- Understands that URIs and literals denote things in the world ("resources") real, imagined, or conceptual.
- Understands the RDF abstract data model as a directed labeled graph.
