Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web and initiator of the Linked Data project, suggested a 5 star deployment scheme for Linked Data. The 5 Star Linked Data system is cumulative. Each additional star presumes the data meets the criteria of the previous step(s).

☆ Data is available on the Web, in whatever format.	

☆☆ Available as machine-readable structured data, (i.e., not a scanned image).

☆☆☆ Available in a non-proprietary format, (i.e, CSV, not Microsoft Excel).	

☆☆☆☆ Published using open standards from the W3C (RDF and SPARQL).	

☆☆☆☆☆ All of the above and links to other Linked Open Data.

The Linked Data mug can be read with both green labels for Linked Open Data, or neither label for Linked Data. Proceeds of the Linked Open Data mug benefit the W3C.
