Disadvantages of linked data

[edit]
  • Schemas, ontologies, and taxonomies are inconsistent, which is confusing to experts, newcomers, and regular users.
  • It is complicated, which takes time to learn, use, and maintain.
  • Organizations must invest in staff to learn how linked data works.
  • There is a lot of data that is not linked yet.
  • Since there isn't an established schema, trust becomes very important (which is built into Wikidata!).
