Hi Jeff, > I agree it is a good idea to include the link to Tim's document.

That triggers an interesting point. If we feel that the current link should be completed, then that reveals an issue with the available linked data documentation and/or our goal with the document. I'm uncomfortable with the call for use case to be at a same time a comprehensive entry point to the LOD stuff. If we need 2 pointers then I'd prefer to have zero and avoid the trouble altogether.
