Authors Seth van Hooland and Ruben Vergogh are metadata specialists. The former is an assistant professorat the Universite libre de Bruxelles (ULB), while the latter is a researcher in semantic hypermedia at GhentUniversity – iMinds, Belgium.The introduction is very helpful, describing the structure of the book by outlining the goals, audience, conceptsand skills of each chapter. The authors ask whether linked data is “the kingdom of structured data to come oran irritating buzzword which we all will have forgotten in a few years?” They also state that “The ambition of thishandbook is to bring a sense of pragmatism to the debate.” Each of the five core chapters (modelling, cleaning,reconciling, enriching and publishing) leads to a case study with metadata from institutions around the world. Atthe beginning of each chapter is a list of learning outcomes. There is also a useful glossary at the beginning ofthe book. The authors’ intention is for the chapters and case studies to stand on their own and so they can beread individually. Overall, I found the book to be well organised and clearly set out.

机译：作者Seth Van Hooland和Ruben Vergogh是元数据专家。前者是助理教授的助理（Ulb）教授（ULB），而后者是Ghintunyiversity的语义超媒的研究员 - 模糊，比利时。介绍非常有用，通过概述目标，观众来说，描述了这本书的结构。每章的概念和技能。作者询问链接数据是否是“结构化数据的王国来oran恼怒的流行语，我们所有人都会在几年内被遗忘？”他们还说“这位手册的野心是为辩论带来务实感。”五个核心章节（建模，清洁，协调，丰富和出版）中的每一个都会导致与世界各地的机构的元数据进行案例研究。在每章的开始是学习成果列表。在书的开头也有一个有用的词汇表。作者的意图是章节和案例研究以自己站立，所以他们可以单独拒绝。总的来说，我发现这本书要妥善组织，明确阐述。
