This document provides statistics about the structure and content of the LOD cloud. It also analyzes the extend to which LOD data sources implement nine best practices that are either recommended W3C or have emerged within the LOD community.

All statistics within this document are based on the LOD data set catalog that is maintained on CKAN. If you spot any errors in the data describing the LOD data sets, it would be great if you would correct them directly on CKAN. For information on how to describe datasets on CKAN please refer to the Guidelines for Collecting Metadata on Linked Datasets in CKAN."
