Re: How RFC 5988 Link Relation fits Linked Data?

Here's a take.

In http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-aq/ we introduced URIs that can be used pretty much 
equivalently as link relation types in Link: headers, OR as properties in RDF. 
E.g.

     http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#has_provenance

used in a Link: header (sect 3.1), thus:

     Link: <http://example.com/resource123/provenance/>;
          rel="http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#has_provenance";
          anchor="http://example.com/resource123/"

or as an RDF statement (sect 3.3, using Turtle):

     <> ...
        prov:has_anchor       <http://example.com/data/resource.rdf> ;
        prov:has_provenance   <http://example.com/provenance/resource.rdf> ;
        ...

In this case, we deliberately went with the full URI syntax for the relation, 
rather than a registered short name, so the correspondence was easily maintained.
