Yes, this is true. The reason why we are not calling this out too loudly is 
that the recommendation is still emerging and that it is by far not the only 
recommendation that needs to be taken into account for a Linked Data Platform. 
There is also RDF, SPARQL 1.1 (including the protocol), WebID and WebACL (still 
working groups, no recommendation so far) and some others that might be 
interesting in enterprise settings (like versioning and the memento protocol). 
But in the proposal we should maybe add pointers to all these recommendations.

To some extent yes. At the very least we will provide documentation how to 
transform legacy data into linked data. One tool we are currently using is a 
modified version of Google Refine (see the screencast on the current LMF 
homepage). But we will not cover such scenarios in-depth, I would see this out 
of the scope of the project, and there are others doing this already, e.g. 
D3RQ, Pubby, etc.

Linked Data needs not necessarily also be Open Data, the same technology can 
also be used inside enterprises for information integration. In enterprises, 
the platform will have to fulfill many more requirements, especially regarding 
access control.

Greetings,

Sebastian
