For me, that's one of the principle advantages of linked data over other data formats - built in provenance if you will. Also authoritative does not mean true. I means it asserts authority over the data. That could very well be wrong, but it's the consumer's choice whether they trust that authority or not (or can prove it perhaps). Ian
