I have recently had the opportunity to create a new library web page and host it on my own servers. One of the elements of the new page that I want to improve upon is providing live or near live information on technology availability (10 of 12 laptops available, etc.). That data resides on my ILS server and I thought it might be a good time to upgrade the bubble gum and duct tape solution I now have to creating a real linked data service that would provide that availability information to the web server.

The problem is there is a lot of overly complex and complicated information out there onlinked data and RDF and the semantic web etc. and I'm looking for a simple guide to creating a very simple linked data service with php or python or whatever. Does such a resource exist? Any advice on where to start?
Thanks,
