So managing this voluminous information is really a tough job. Again WWW has opened the door to connect anyone or anything within a fraction of a second. This study discussed the Semantic Web and linked data technologies and their effect and application to libraries for the handling of various types of resources.

Literature Review

A lot of studies were done on the semantic web, linked data and its application in libraries. Some of them are highlighted here. Bakshi and Karger (2005) illustrated the tools built into the Haystack information management from the semantic web. Horrocks (2008) stated the process of RDF and OWL as the standard format for sharing and integration of information and knowledge. The general introduction to some ontology languages and its role in the semantic web (Antoniou et al., 2005). Bizer et al. (2009) refer to the concepts and principles of linked data and situate these within the broader context of related technological developments. Bizer et al. (2008) outlined the technical context in which linked data is situated and the development in the past years through initiatives. The possibilities of representing the most prevalent form of MARC, MARC21 as RDF for the Semantic web (Styles & Ayers, n.d.). Macgregor (2009) illustrated the application of semantic web and related technology to discover a variety of e-resources.
