Understanding the biological effects of nanomaterials needs at least insight into the physicochemical identity; recent research has however shown how important the biological identity is in fully understanding the biological mechanisms. This requires, however, interlinking nanomaterial databases with databases from other domains. This deliverable reports on our efforts outlined in Tasks 3.4 and 3.6 to implement the Linked Data ideas to data in the nanosafety community, taking into account this recent guidance document, experimenting with a number of technical solutions to link data. We report on work that lead to the Resource Description Framework (RDF) support of the database, reusing the eNanoMapper ontology, and interlinking with other databases. We show how the RDF can be used and demonstrate its applicability with a few examples. The related deliverable D5.6 to follow is about data completeness and is also based on the output of this work.
