Thanks for explaining how not even "Linked Open Data" (emphasized by 
capital letters and quotes as being a concept rather than three words 
with individual meaning) is open for interpretation.

In this thread, when explaining what _I_ got confused about, I was in 
fact talking about a different concept than "Open systems".

I shall consider to instead use linked-open-data-as-defined-by-W3C in 
the future, when myself talking about what I mean.
