Let me try this --

Is *SPARQL* a *necessary* component of Linked Data?

In other words, must I put up a SPARQL processor/server, in 
order to put some Linked Data on the Web?

If not, if SPARQL is indeed optional, then why is RDF (which
is not raised above SPARQL in the TimBL scripture currently 
being pointed to) mandatory?
