RE: adding hypermedia to spatial data best practices

Hmm. That's interesting that you mention the coupling of 'specific model' with 'linked data'. We must be careful about bringing the 5th-star into play too soon. Linked data relies first on (i) stable, resolvable URIs, (ii) open formats, and (iii) hyperlinks, so let's make sure that message gets across first and is not buried in premature focus on semantics.

no worries. and seriously from my side, i'd love to get feedback and even requests for more detailed content for both resources. i see a lo0t on confusion in the spectrum between linked data (which mandates a specific model that not everybody necessarily wants to use) and no guidance in which case the hypermedia aspect (imho the biggest value proposition of the web by far, when combined with REST's uniform interface constraint) often gets forgotten. thus my attempt to talk about "web data" that focuses on what makes the web valuable, without prescribing a specific path to realize that value.

thanks and cheers,

dret.
