In this paper we introduce Linked Data driven development, a lightweight methodology for using Linked Data throughout the software life cycle. We explain the idea of Linked Data and how it plays an important role in the semantic web. Furthermore, we describe the necessary steps and approaches when using Linked Data for improving the software development process and give a discussion on the bonuses and pitfalls of such usage. Finally, some open questions and possible future work is proposed at the end.
