Yes, exactly. IMHO, there are two big next steps. First, getting 
authoritative data providers to publish their own data as Linked Data 
instead of us as research community triplifiying their data. This is the 
only way to ensure maintenance and quality on the long term. Second, 
simplifying the interaction with Linked Data to integrate it into 
internal as well as external workflows. I hate to say it, but many of 
our technologies and KR languages are too complicated. Finally, ideally, 
we would try to take the data from IOS, Springer, Elsevier, and so forth 
and show the value proposition of Linked Data in action by designing 
interesting services on top of them. This could be in the form of a 
challenge or workshop. As IOS Press has also published document 
embeddings and linked them to the papers, such services can use very 
rich data. To some degree our Linked Data Scientometrics are such a service.
