Topic "data linking" is missing the the GLD best practices doc

Hey,

I just skimmed the editor's draft for "Best Practices for Publishing Linked 
Data" at https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/bp/index.html .

Thanks for your efforts on putting together such a document!

However, a topic that seems to be missing (and that I think is important for 
such a document), is how to actually link data.

1) I don't find any explanation of what it is that makes data "linked". There 
is no proper introduction of what a link is in the given context.  Actually, 
the noun "link" (or "data link") doesn't appear a single time in the whole 
document.

2) The document should contain a section on how to create data links (within 
an organization's dataset and, more importantly, to data from other sources).


BTW, originally, I sent this mail to public-gld-wg@w3.org which is the address 
given in the "Status of This Document" section. Since, I'm not in the group, 
the mail ended up in the moderator's mailbox. I propose to change the address 
for public comments given in the document to public-gld-comments@w3.org


Best,
Olaf
