Is the initial dichotomy I espoused still false in reality?
Yes it is still false. There are plenty of LOD datasets that don't fit
into your classification at all because they have on-the-fly generated
RDF and have no IP or licensing issues whatsoever.
fwiw -
LOD warehouses have a clear set of characteristics:
1. Static (due to periodic Extract and Load aspect of RDF production)
2. Subjectively assumed to IP claim safe
Dynamically generated Linked Data via wrappers also have their
characteristics:
1. Dynamic (RDF generated "on the fly")
2. IP vulnerabilities (that are inherently subjective)
Static vs. dynamic is about implementation techniques. Paying
attention to licensing issues is a completely orthogonal issue. I
really don't know where you get the idea that these two questions are
the same. They are not.
My focal point is: what are we counting? Stuff in a warehouse or stuff
generated "on the fly". You can count whats in a warehouse, but you
can't count (in a meaningful way) what's generated "on the fly" unless
you can count all the information resources on the Web.
Anyway, I think we close this matter as either conclusion (true/false
dichotomy or stats) have limited value (imho). I am much more interested
in what is now achievable as a result of the Linked Data that is now
part of the Web :-)
