Given I have these RDF files and I am able to easily update them (more or less), what are some of the things I need to do in order expose them more systematically and in a way that can truly be called linked data?

It seems to me that the presence of the following tags qualifies the RDF as linked data:

<dc:rights>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/</dc:rights>
<dc:source rdf:resource="gopher://wiretap.spies.com:70/00/Library/Classic/utopia.txt"/>

Of course, the usefulness of linked data increases drastically with the number of dimensions along which it's linked.

I'm interested by:

<dc:subject>
   <rdf:Bag>
     <rdf:li>man</rdf:li>
     <rdf:li>people</rdf:li>
     ....
  </rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>

Given that dc:subject is repeatable, and there doesn't appear to be anything being said about cardinality, wouldn't this be simpler as:


<dc:subject>man</dc:subject>
<dc:subject>people</dc:subject>
...

Certainly the later converts to fewer tuples, since there is no bag to track the membership of.


Your <alex:local_mirror />, <alex:concordance /> and <alex:plain_html /> tags seem to be remarkably similar to dc.relation.isFormatOf. Maybe you could recast these in terms of dc?
