Musing further - RESTful APIS provide dereferencable URIs - and exposing searchable items means Google can be a link engine. So in a general sense both have some sense of being Linked Data if a data representation is available and a client chooses to retain links _for some temporal scope_ It probably comes down to FAIR principles whether a client has any interoperable means of discovering the scope of an identifier - global or within some system "closure". SPARQL doenst actually help because its still based on hidden system closure scopes - so its extra tech with no architectural benefit. JSON has its identifiable benefit in parseability, and it proliferates. I think we can hypothesise that self documenting APIs and self-documenting data with JSON-LD and resolvable identifiers is the best option in the near future - but relying on stable global identifiers ( as in a Linked Data Cloud) is one option, and "system scoped" identifiers (e.g. REST) is a lower bar in terms of the temporal scope of systems. -- GitHub Notification of comment by rob-metalinkage Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1328#issuecomment-1097348238 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
