IMO, "Linked Data" is a meaningful proper name. It's essence is captured in the incremental matrix formed by TimBL's 4 rules and 5 stars: http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html The basic protocol mechanics are documented in "Cool URIs for the Semantic Web": http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/ The fundamental question for Library Linked Data is which formalized vocabularies (aka models) libraries develop/adopt.
