Re: Final Linked Data Glossary (was Re: def'n of resource?)

Hi,
OK, I'm happy to makes updates to glossary for integrity regarding LD and LOD, and include *both* 5 star systems, inclusive of the respective mug references.  If this glossary becomes cited for both Linked Enterprise and Linked Open Data developers, then it should definitely make the differences explicit.    

If we the greater W3C community make consistent use of LD and LOD terms with industry and government, (meaning we don't use interchangeably), it will help with adoption IMO.

Cheers,
Bernadette Hyland
