<h4>Machine Readable Data</h4>
-Machine readable data refers to data which can be seamlessly processed by programs. It often means non-graphics data which gets 2-stars on the <a href="#5-star-linked-data">5-star Linked Data scale</a>. While some open data developers use screen-scrapping techniques to parse machine readable content, using 4-star or 5-star Linked Data is preferable in terms of provenance and ease of reuse. Anything less than 4-star data gives Web developers more work modeling and transforming data. By creating and publishing Linked Data, you are increasing the ability of search engines, and thus humans, to find, access and re-use information.

To see how a Linked Data representation yields both a human and machine readable version simultaneously, try this exercise. Wikipedia has an interesting page about the color <a href="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Red" target="_blank">Red</a>. DBpedia allows you to get the structured content listed on the Wikipedia page for "Red" [<a href="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Red" target="_blank">http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Red</a>] by changing "wiki" to "data" and appending the appropriate file extension.
