Before the emergence of RDF and Linked Data, Web applications have been designed around relational database standards of data representation and service. A move to an RDF-based data representation introduces challenges for the application developer in rethinking the Web application outside the standards and processes of database-driven Web development. These include, but are not limited to, the graph-based data model of RDF [171], the Linked Data principles [83], and formal and domain specific semantics [96].
