Abstract: It is the core business of the information industry, including traditional publishers and media agencies, to deal with content, data and information. Therefore, the development and adaptation of Linked Data and Linked Open Data technologies to this industry is a perfect fit. As a concrete example, the processing of legal information at Wolters Kluwer as a global legal publisher through the whole data life cycle is introduced. Further requirements, especially in the field of governance, maintenance and licensing of data are developed in detail. The partial implementation of this technology in the operational systems of Wolters Kluwer shows the relevance and usefulness of this technology.
