Data stored in eagle-i repositories is published as Linked Open Data (LOD),in particular:


The eagle-i search application indexes this data and leverages its semantics to offer a targeted search. Third party applications can also access the data to present different views of it, incorporate it in other websites, etc.


If a user or application knows the URI of a particular resource, they can simply request its data using the HTTP protocol; below is an example of an eagle-i resource:

http://alaska.eagle-i.net/i/0000012a-25c2-5d13-76e0-f22c80000005

and here is the RDF/XML representation of the same resource:

http://alaska.eagle-i.net/i/0000012a-25c2-5d13-76e0-f22c80000005?format=application/xml


In addition to resolvable URIs, the eagle-i repository provides two interfaces for obtaining lists of resources:
