  text: Many websites offer links to social media sites for convenient content sharing.
    Unfortunately, those sharing capabilities are quite restricted and it is seldom
    possible to share content with other services, like those provided by a user's
    favorite applications or smart devices. In this paper, we present Semantic Data
    Mediator (SDM) --- a flexible middleware linking a vast number of services to
    millions of websites. Based on reusable repositories of service descriptions defined
    by the crowd, users can easily fill a personal registry with their favorite services,
    which can then be linked to websites by SDM. For this, SDM leverages semantic
    data, which is already available on millions of websites due to search engine
    optimization. Further support for our approach from website or service developers
    is not required. To enable the use of a broad range of services, data conversion
    services are automatically composed by SDM to transform data according to the
    needs of the different services. In addition to linking web services, various
    service adapters allow services of applications and smart devices to be linked
    as well. We have fully implemented our approach and present a real-world case
    study demonstrating its feasibility and usefulness.
