LinkZoo: A linked data platform for collaborative management of heterogeneous resources

Abstract. Modern collaborations rely on sharing and reusing heterogeneous re-sources. The ability to combine different types of information objects in seman-tically meaningful ways becomes a necessity for the information-intensive re-quirements of collaborative environments. In this paper we present LinkZoo, a web-based, linked data enabled platform that allows users to create, manage, discover and search heterogeneous resources such as files, web documents, people and events, interlink them, annotate them, exploit their inherent struc-tures, enrich them with semantics and make them available as linked data. LinkZoo easily and intuitively allows for dynamic communities that enable web-based collaboration through resource sharing and annotating, exposing ob-jects on the Linked Data Web under controlled vocabularies and permissions
