]> <p>This work package will continue the prototyping activity under WP1/Task 1.4 by fully integrating the individual components developed in WP2-5 into a ready-to-use LOD2 Stack and associated APIs. The primary goal of the LOD2 Stack integration is to enable communities of practice to rapidly create domain specific Linked Data applications. Consequently, the LOD2 Stack will support the whole life cycle of Linked Data from creation over enrichment, interlinking, fusing to maintenance. The stack will be very versatile, for all functionality we will define clear interfaces, which enable the plugging in of alternative third-party implementations. We will also provide a stack configurator, which enables potential user to create their own personalized version of the LOD2 Stack, which contains only those functions relevant for their usage scenario.</p> 6 WP6 – Interfaces, Component Integration & LOD2 Stack Fundamental and integration activities will form the ground work which provides the necessary infrastructure and integration methodology. In particular, these types of activities serve the following purposes: <ol> <li>the efficient and uniform use of existing and complementary technology, and,</li> <li>smooth integration of the various modules, components and subsystems.</li> </ol> The integration methodology and infrastructure will ensure that the components are combined in the right way. These activities also provide a basis for the easy development of real-world solutions that integrate the various project outcomes.

In order to achieve these objectives we will explore new browsing and visualization paradigms.</p> 5 WP5 – Adaptive Linked Data Visualization, Browsing and Authoring <p>Enabling large-scale interoperability based on Linked Data is a necessary precondition in the media industry to profit from the benefits of distributed information sources on the Semantic Web. Hence, the media use case aims to improve access to high-quality, machine-readable data sets generated by publishing houses for their customers.</p> 7 WP7 – Use Case 1: LOD2 for Media and Publishing
