A Survey of the First 20 Years of Research on Semantic Web and Linked Data

ABSTRACT. This paper is a survey of the research topics in the field of Semantic Web, Linked Data
and Web of Data. This study looks at the contributions of this research community over its first
twenty years of existence. Compiling several bibliographical sources and bibliometric indicators, we identify the main research trends and we reference some of their major publications to
provide an overview of that initial period. We conclude with some perspectives for the future
research challenges.
