Well the intention is not to just write up those patterns that we think will get broad adoption, or that are the easiest to implement. The goal is to understand the range of issues that people are facing when publishing, modelling and consuming Linked Data and attempt to provide well documented solutions. Some of those patterns may be discarded, but the knowledge has still been captured. Not every application uses the Factory design pattern, but its useful for some. > It would certainly help to have a list of clients and applications > that will/will not require materialization.

I like the idea, and I see its been explored further later in the thread, of capturing in some way the input requirements for an application. Its like describing receptors (the application) and signalling molecules (the data patterns) in biochemistry.
