Abstract

General human intelligence is needed in order to process con- tent on theWeb of Documents. On theWeb of Data (WoD), content is intended to be machine-processable as well. But the extent to which a machine is able to navigate, access, and process the WoD has not been extensively researched. We present LOD Observer, a web observatory that studies the Web from a machine processor's point of view. We do this by reformulating the five star model of Linked Open Data (LOD) publishing in quantifiable terms. Secondly, we built an infrastructure that allows the model's criteria to be quantified over existing datasets. Thirdly, we analyze a sig- nificant snapshot of the WoD using this infrastructure and discuss the main problems a machine processor encounters.
