Re: adding hypermedia to spatial data best practices

My point was only that they are separable in a different way. Even if one assumes / uses RDF, many of the issues of going from data URI to data URL are still unresolved. The mere existence of a hypermedia format doesn’t resolve them either.

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.
