Specification

Specification by the Hydra W3C Community Group

The Linked Data Fragments specification is developed as part of the Hydra W3C Community Group.

The Hydra project provides technologies for the design of smart APIs and smart clients. It consists of the Hydra Core Vocabulary, which contains the essential building blocks for machine-accessible hypermedia APIs, and Linked Data Fragments, which focus on APIs and clients that enable Web-scale publishing and querying.
