These matters are related but not one and the same. As you know, modulo LOD and DBpedia, a lot of RDF documents out in the wild don't even conform to the key principles espoused in TimBL's Linked Data meme. >> >> RDF is an optional (and W3C recommended) mechanism for creating Linked Data. That doesn't make it the sole option or an adjudication mechanism when the issues at hand have more to do with Linked Data specifics. Simple example, de-referencable URIs. That really has nothing to do with RDF. >> >>> It gives a set of design principles, but it needs another step to decide on the concrete instantiation of those principles. A meta-architecture gives portability of skills and ideas. >>> >>> The LDP needs to choose the concrete instantiation so that interoperation at the byte-on-wire level happens, otherwise it's just one more set of guidelines. >> I don't see why or how loosely coupling RDF and Linked Data impedes that goal :-) >> >> >>> Andy >>> >>> >>> >> >> -- >> >> Regards, >> >> Kingsley Idehen >> Founder & CEO >> OpenLink Software >> Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com >> Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen >> Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen >> Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about >> LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen >> >> >> >> >> > -- > A: Yes. http://www.guckes.net/faq/attribution.html > | Q: Are you sure? > | | A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > | | | Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > > Ted Thibodeau, Jr. // voice +1-781-273-0900 x32 > Senior Support & Evangelism // mailto:tthibodeau@openlinksw.com > // http://twitter.com/TallTed > OpenLink Software, Inc. // http://www.openlinksw.com/ > 10 Burlington Mall Road, Suite 265, Burlington MA 01803 > Weblog -- http://www.openlinksw.com/blogs/ > LinkedIn -- http://www.linkedin.com/company/openlink-software/ > Twitter -- http://twitter.com/OpenLink > Google+ -- http://plus.google.com/100570109519069333827/ > Facebook -- http://www.facebook.com/OpenLinkSoftware > Universal Data Access, Integration, and Management Technology Providers > > > > > > > -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
