 <h4>Data Cloud</h4>
 Data cloud, also called the <a href="http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/" target="_blank">Linked Data Cloud</a>, is a visual representation of datasets published as Linked Data.  Using metadata generated by directories, including CKAN, the project records datasets by domain.  The Linked Data Cloud has doubled in size every 10 months since 2007 and as of late 2012 consists of more than 300 data sets from various domains, including geography, media, government and life sciences, according the [<a href="http://lod-cloud.net/state/" target="_blank">State of the LOD Cloud</a>], website and visualizations maintained by C. Bizer, A. Jentzsch, R. Cyganiak.  The original data owners/stewards publish one third of the data contained in the Linked Open Data Cloud, while third parties publish 67%.  Many academic institutions republish data from their respective governments as <a href="#linked-data">Linked Data</a>, often enhancing the representation in the process.

 <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.

 <h4>Turtle</h4>
-Turtle is an RDF serialization format designed to be easier to read than others such as RDF/XML.  Turtle allows an RDF graph to be written in a compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for common usage patterns and datatypes. Turtle [[!TURTLE-TR]] provides levels of compatibility with the existing N-Triples format as well as the triple pattern syntax of the SPARQL W3C Recommendation.
