On the assumption that we both agree there is no such thing as 
unstructured data:

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) transfers Data.

RDF (Resource Description Framework)  enables you describe and 
understand Data.

RDF based Linked Data enables you describe, understand, and refer to 
Data by combining the items above.

As far as I know:

LDP is supposed to add the Read-Write aspect to RDF based Linked Data 
(as outlined above) without depending on SPARQL. Basically, a solution 
to a problem already handled by SPARQL for those who seek looser 
coupling i.e., no SPARQL specificity with regards to RWW aspect of RDF 
based Linked Data.

In addition to the above, if we assume RDF is simply a format, then in 
that falsehood we could have agreement re. your focus on RESTful 
interaction patterns and Media Types :-)
