Re: Linked Data Glossary is published!

Hello, congrats on hard efforts. A few comments:

1. 5 Star ...:
I'm afraid I don't understand why XML is 2-star (implying proprietary
format), lower rated than CSV. Does it mean Excel ? (but even Excel uses
non-proprietary OpenXML now).
I'd suggest this section should include a link to the TimBL's original
scheme.


58. Machine Readable Data:
I think "without access to proprietary libraries" is not well fit for the
definition of this widely used term (it could be called "Open Machine
Readable Data" or something, if this condition is necessary). Moreover, I
don't believe "PDF and Microsoft Excel" are good counter examples. There
are many open source PDF libraries, and parsing OpenXML is not very
difficult.

Probably, what is needed here is a sort of "Machine Readable Structured
Data", which PDF and Excel data are sometimes not. However, unstructured
Excel data is not the fault of the format, but the usage of it, IMHO.

cheers,
