  The Web of Linked Data is the cumulation of over a decade of work by the Web
standards community in their effort to make data more Web-like. We provide an
introduction to the Web of Linked Data from the perspective of a Web developer
that would like to build an application using Linked Data. We identify a
weakness in the development stack as being a lack of domain specific scripting
languages for designing background processes that consume Linked Data. To
address this weakness, we design a scripting language with a simple but
appropriate type system. In our proposed architecture some data is consumed
from sources outside of the control of the system and some data is held
locally. Stronger type assumptions can be made about the local data than
external data, hence our type system mixes static and dynamic typing.
Throughout, we relate our work to the W3C recommendations that drive Linked
Data, so our syntax is accessible to Web developers.
