The Fundamental Difference
The main distinction between CLAW and all other Fedora based systems is the role that Fedora plays. In CLAW, Fedora is the repository, not the database driving the web application that is administering the repository.

Linked Data
What Does WikIpedia Say?
Linked Data is “a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful through semantic queries. It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers.”

Linked Data Note of 2006
Vocabulary
So WHY DO ALL THIS?
The purpose of Linked Data is not to expose data and relationships to humans, we have HTML for that. RDF is useful for machines, and linked data is an attempt to standardize how we expose RDF to machines so that they can do more intelligent things.

SO WHAT DOES CLAW DO WITH LINKED DATA?
It’s not what CLAW does with Linked Data. CLAW helps you publish your linked data. You can create it, edit it, delete it, etc… But other than that, what you do with it is up to you and how far you’re willing to go.
