Hi.
I have argued for a long time that the linkage data (in particular owl:sameAs
and similar links) should not usually be mixed with the knowledge being
published.
Thus, for example as I discussed with Evan for the NYTimes site a while ago, it
is not a good thing to put the owl:sameAs links (which were produced by a
relatively unskilled individual over a short period of time) at the same status
as the other data, which has been curated over decades by expert reporters.
These sameAs links have potentially very different trust, provenance, licence,
and possibly other non-functional attributes from the substantive data.
Clearly they have different trust and provenance, but licence may well be
different, as the NYT may want people to take the triples away to bring traffic
to their site, while keeping the other triples under more restricted licence.
seeAlso and put that information in to a different document, available
upon request.
