Hyperdata: Update APIs for RDF Data Sources (Vision Paper)

The Linked Data effort has been focusing on how to publish open data sets on the Web, and it has had great results. However, mechanisms for updating linked data sources have been neglected in research. We propose a structure for Linked Data resources into named graphs, connected through hyperlinks and self described with light metadata, that is a natural match for using standard HTTP methods to implement application-specific (high-level) public update APIs.
