The benefits of linked data are obvious. But how do we actually get
there from here? The USGS should link data internally. Then we can
look at security concerns to open the linkages.
Convincing business folks of that can be a huge uphill battle. Linked
Data requires that you do your careful modeling up front, and it's not
always obvious to managers that that's time well spent.
That's exactly what we did here, though -- linking data internally made
security and data quality audits possible that weren't before, and that
was a great selling point for linked data. The story (for business
folks) was basically "Here, now you can see what we have to work with,
lookg at those frightening security issues!" Before we exposed the
data, it was difficult to respond to security concerns with anything but
a very big wall.
