Anders,

The World Wide Web is Linked Data collective crafted using Open 
Standards (URIs, HTTP, HTML, RDF Language [retrospectively]) .

A Browser is an App. Same applies to all mobile apps.

An application reads, manipulates, and writes data.

It's about the Data and how its web-like form that matters.

The Web-like form of data is a characteristic of structured data 
representation that leverages the duality of HTTP URIs (as Entity Names 
that resolve to Entity Description Documents).

Note:
HTML is a Language (signs, syntax, semantics), but it has fixed notation 
(HTML tags) and serialization format (text/html).
RDF is an Abstract Language (signs, syntax, semantics) that doesn't have 
a fixed notation or serialization format.

The only problem with RDF is that the term "RDF" is used too generically 
which propagates nothing but confusion.
