Yes re. the principles in play. Of course, modulo RDF and SPARQL specificity re. point #3 :-)
So clearly your answer to "What is Linked Data?" is "What you interpret as what Tim says it should be."
What he outlined in the original meme since I still hold the position that #3 compromises the original GOLDEN meme. But that's a distracting detail at this juncture.
Exposing this issue is actually much of why I posted my article. So is it "TimBL's Web"?
I am not saying or inferring that.
I think most agree it is not. It certainly isn't what Tim planned :-)
I think he planned (clearly depicted in the WWW proposal diagram) what he described in his original Linked meme. We have a Web of resources connected by links that facilitate a variety of relations. The relations in question cover:
1. Loose references to named entities 2. Citations and References 3. Explicit Entity Descriptions4. Explicit Definitions of Classes and Properties that ultimately add semantic fidelity to relations.
