I hope this is not too off-topic for a mailing list entitled 'linking open data'... A question that will surely arise in many places when more people get to know about the linked data initiative and the growing infrastructure of linked open data is: how can these principles be applied to organizational data that might not / only partially be open to the public web? People will soon try to develop practices for selectively protecting parts of their linked data with fine-grained access rights. Could simple HTTP authentication be useful for linked data? How does authentication work for SPARQL endpoints containing several named graphs? Can we use RDF vocabularies to represent access rights? Should such vocabularies be standardized? Is there any ongoing work on defining such practices (or even 'best practices')?
