But Linked Data does not depend on RDF and it is unfortunate that some folk slide into that assumption all too easily and often, and it would be better if they didn't. That was exactly the point I was trying to make at the beginning of this thread.
i violently agree, but that train has left the station. by now you would
need to very explicitly say "linked data that is not limited to only
using RDF". and you would get into heated arguments every single time,
because there are quite a number of people that want to see the term
exclusively used for RDF. i got tired of those arguments, and still
believe that the main value is in the linking, not the metamodel of what
what you're linking. hence my "web data" proposal that explicitly is
only about hypermedia, and not about one specific metamodel.
cheers,
dret.
