IMO, "Linked Data" is a meaningful proper name. It's essence is captured
in the incremental matrix formed by TimBL's 4 rules and 5 stars:

The basic protocol mechanics are documented in "Cool URIs for the
Semantic Web":

The fundamental question for Library Linked Data is which formalized
vocabularies (aka models) libraries develop/adopt.
