In the linked data paradigm, such element sets are materialized through (RDF) schemas or (OWL) ontologies, with RDF vocabulary occasionally being used as an umbrella term.

That does not cost much to include, and seems quite right, indeed. http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/index.php?title=Draft_Vocabularies_Datasets_Section&diff=5220&oldid=5189 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/index.php?title=Vocabulary_and_Dataset&diff=5219&oldid=5063 Thanks for spotting this, Karen! > Is there an example of non-RDF LD that we can refer to? Not sure. There are JSON-based proposals, e.g., http://json-ld.org/, but these things are very close to/inspired by RDF, and in fact should make it in the next RDF version, cf. http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-JSON RDF is so closely matching the principles of linked data (data about things expressed using links) that it will be probably difficult to find something radically different.
