Re: The Great Public Linked Data Use Case Register for Non-Technical End User Applications

Are you confusing Linked Data and Linked Open Data?

Even if applications were all built on LOD (which they're not), and 
described themselves as LOD (which they don't), I don't buy this argument.

It's interesting that you think "this is Web 101" when Google struggle 
to assemble a complete list of anything, while Wikipedia is full of 
lists and lists of lists and lists of lists of lists.
