I mean different groups of people that might benefit from using linked data. Such groups are: developers of applications that process or mash data published on the Web, publishers in the classical sense (e.g. BBC, NYT), Web 2.0 publishers (e.g. bloggers, Flickr users), businesses (e.g. Amazon), etc. What I'm looking for are studies that consider one or more of these groups and that deal with questions such as: What percentage of people in these groups knows about linked data? Are people in these groups aware of the potential benefit linked data may provide? The potential benefits are varying depending on the group. Mash-up developers, for instance, can combine data from different sources more easily. Furthermore, they don't have to access a different proprietary API for each data source. Hope this clarifies my question.
