My bad! that's painfully circular. i promise to shut up after this, but: - the REST community cares a lot about linking data, because that's one of their key architectural principles (probably the most important one). back in 2009, we dared to call this Linked Data and were told we shouldn't. - if you define Linked Data to be exclusively based by SemWeb technologies, then it's not really surprising that only the SemWeb community cares about it. i happen to think that this unnecessarily creates a separation between communities that actually should talk more about principles than pitching technologies. but it seems that both bubbles are doing just fine even when separate, so i have accepted that fact. but for people living in neither bubble, the situation can be much more confusing than for us bubble-dwellers. that's really all i wanted to point out. cheers, dret.
