This is the goal of the Semantic Web: to enable machines to

that goal in a very important way that Linked Stuff does not.
We already have the 5 stars of linked data. If you use RDF you're
probably 5 star. If you dont you're probably 4 star or lower.
That said, there may be some other linked data system one day
become a 5 star standard.
Great point!
The 5-Star Open Data system [1] is a nice approach to framing this
most challenging of narratives. It's greatest virtue is not putting
RDF at the front-door :-)
Actually, that's quite interesting. Well done!
So, the only difference between four stars and five stars is,
additionally to lexicographical linking (two URIs that match character
by character), we can introduce additional links -- named links (named
properties in RDF) -- to convey more meaning and get more out of it.
That's basically what the RDF data model is good for.
That is the most basic explanation, I've every heard of Linked Data
and the purpose of RDF (providing a standardized way of reaching five
stars).
And I agree, an introduction to Linked Data should minimize the usage
of RDF and its internal terminology.
Thanks for sharing that.
