*Introduction*

Tim Berners-Lee coined the term ?Linked Data? in his Linked Data Web architecture note. It refers to a way of publishing and interlinking structured data on the Web and in simple words, basically /Linked Data/aims to enable people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can share documents today. The basic assumption behind this term is that the usefulness and value of data increases the more it is interlinked with other data.According to Tim Berners-Lee (2006), ?like the web of hypertext, the web of data is constructed with documents on the web. However, unlike the web of hypertext, where links are relationships anchors in hypertext documents written in HTML, for data they links between arbitrary things described by RDF?.

The proposed book aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research in open linked data and semantic web based personalization as applied to the context of Information Systems.

*Objective of the Book*

Linked Data literature proposes using the Web to connect related data that was not previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods. More specifically, the basic elements of linked data are to: 1) use the RDF data model to publish structured data on the Web; and 2) use RDF links to interlink data from different data sources. The application of both principles leads to the creation of a data commons on the Web which is often called the Web of Data or Semantic Web.

The book chapter collection will cover Open Linked Data and Semantic Web approaches to information systems and ontology-based information systems research, as well as the diverse underlying database and knowledge representation aspects that impact personalization and the customization. The chapters will also address challenges for this new field of research. Chapters dealing with aspects of both topics are especially sought

The subject area is a combination of /Web Semantic, Open Linked Data, Business, Management, Information Technologies and Information Systems/.
