• Open Data refers to data or metadata that is made freely available to the public with the express permission to reuse freely for any purpose, though publishers may require attribution.
• Linked Data refers to data or metadata that is made available on the web in a format that utilizes generally accepted markup and World Wide Web protocol, much the way web pages utilize a code that allows them to be read by web browsers.
• Linked Open Data refers to data or metadata made freely available on the World Wide Web with a standard markup format.
