“…The current LOD cloud poses a number of barriers when data consumers are trying to identify a particular RDF dataset. Previous work [2,6,14] has already highlighted problems related to generated dataset metadata, however, as we discuss in Section 2, these have not been solved. Given the increase of RDF-based linked datasets on the web, the Linked Data community should ensure that the LOD cloud does not end up dormant and outdated, as happened between 2014 and 2017.…”

“…The authors analysed how different best practices were adopted by the crawled datasets, more specifically looking at provenance, licensing, and access methods amongst other experiments. In a similar crawling approach, Neto et al [14] attempted to identify the actual Linked Open Data cloud by obtaining metadata from different sources. One of their goals was to assess the quality of the available RDF metadata.…”

“…The LOD cloud has been subject to a number of studies, especially on its metadata [2,6,14]. These studies highlight the shortcomings of the dataset metadata of the LOD cloud with regard to dataset accessibility, licensing, and metadata structure.…”

The Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud has been around since 2007. Throughout the years, this prominent depiction served as the epitome for Linked Data and acted as a starting point for many. In this article we perform a number of experiments on the dataset metadata provided by the LOD cloud, in order to understand better whether the current visualised datasets are accessible and with an open license. Furthermore, we perform quality assessment of 17 metrics over accessible datasets that are part of the LOD cloud. These experiments were compared with previous experiments performed on older versions of the LOD cloud. The results showed that there was no improvement on previously identified problems. Based on our findings, we therefore propose a strategy and architecture for a potential collaborative and sustainable LOD cloud.
