Abstract
The richness and openness of Linked Open Data (LOD) make them invaluable resources of information, and create new opportunities for many areas of application. In this paper, we address the exploitation of LOD by utilizing SPARQL queries in order to extract social networks of entities. This enables the application of techniques from Social Network Analysis to study social interactions among entities, providing deep insights into their latent social structure.
