Do we want to call it Linked Data 2.0? under this definition also schema.org marked up pages would be linked data .. and i agree plenty with this . So, I imagine, does everyone else. But are you implying that Schema markup is somehow incompatible with RDF? If so, try reading http://blog.schema.org/2012/06/semtech-rdfa-microdata-and-more.html Pat > > Gio > > > On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Kingsley Idehen <kidehen@openlinksw.com> wrote: > On 6/20/13 11:45 AM, Luca Matteis wrote: >> On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 5:02 PM, Melvin Carvalho <melvincarvalho@gmail.com> wrote: >> • Restate/reflect ideas that in other posts that are troubling/puzzling and ask for confirmation or clarification. >> >> I am simply confused with the idea brought forward by Kingsley that RDF is *not* part of the definition of Linked Data. The evidence shows the contrary: the top sites that define Linked Data, such as Wikipedia, Linkeddata.org and Tim-BL's meme specifically mention RDF, for example: >> >> "It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data >> "connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF." - http://linkeddata.org/ >> >> This is *the only thing* that I'm discussing here.
