OCLC Research conducted an International Linked Data Survey for Implementers in 2014 and 2015, receiving responses from a total of 89 institutions in 20 countries. In the 2015 survey, 112 projects or services that consumed or published linked data were described (compared to 76 in 2014). This project briefing summarizes the 2015 survey results: 1) which institutions have implemented or are implementing linked data; 2) what linked data sources institutions are consuming, and why; 3) what institutions are publishing, and why; 4) barriers and advice from the implementers; 5) some changes from respondents who answered both the 2014 and 2015 surveys.
