I tend to disagree. Not only a bonus, IMHO, a necessity when thinking of
RDF-island vs. the (RDF) Web of Data, with Web being emphasised ;)
Micheal,
I am sure you know I am not an advocate of "Data Islands" in any form.
My point here is just about description of "Linked Data" in a specific
context.
Also, you sorta missed the little riddle aspect to my comments, I did
not say: "Linked Data Web" or "Web of Data" or "Data Web", I said:
Linked Data :-)
Kingsley
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Chris,
2008/9/23 Chris Sizemore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
does anyone else expect/hope that the "Linked Data" part of
"dereferenceable
Linked Data URIs " implies that these URIs will be linked up to, for
instance, dbPedia, umbel, musicbrainz, etc etc? otherwise
it wouldn't really
be "linked data" per se, no?
I hope that that's the case, although I don't know if it
will turn out
that way. It may be a case of Calais confusing Linked Data with
linkable data. It is certainly my expectation (and that of the entire
LD community, I would argue) that "Linked Data" does actually include
those links, in case anyone was in any doubt ;)
Tom.
Chris / Tom,
I would decompose Linked Data, in this context, as follows:
1. URIs can be used to de-reference an RDF based resource description
2. Resource description includes de-rferencable URIs across Subject,
Predicate, and Object (where applicable) in constituent triples
Linkage to other Linked Data spaces (instances and classes) is a
desired added bonus, but not the essential definition (imho) :-)
