Did you read what I wrote? I made no comment on the adequacy of
metainformation. In fact I *used* that metainformation to point out
that the data source in question did not satisfy the "open" provision
of linked *open* data. In addition I criticized the *inclusion* of the
data set in the *lod cloud diagram* because of this lack of openness
and because the actual content of that resource didn't resemble any
data in the resource that it was derived from (a registry of
information about chemical compounds), suggesting that it would hurt
the LOD effort as inclusion would be a kind of "false advertising".
