Oh, I see your point and have made it myself. Unfortunately,
economics seems to be dictating otherwise to them for right or wrong.
The only productive suggestion that has been made to me is to put up
a parallel site for the book that includes LD. Michael Hausenblas
has offered the domain linkeddatadeveloper.com
<http://linkeddatadeveloper.com>, which was his original site for
the book but has fallen into disuse. Of course, I would need to be
willing to pay for the site and take the time to operate it.
Would the community find that a useful thing to do? I am willing to
go to the effort if I receive a good number of positive responses.
In (I think the preface) to "Weaving the Web", Tim wrote something like,
"The next one will be online, I promise"
The dream of linked data has always been to be a collaborative space to
both read and write to.
If it were feasible to dogfood such an endeavour, I think the dream of
linked data could be close to reality.
I wonder if we're close enough yet for this to be practical?

Dave
It is most certainly feasible to dogfood LD. The problem is in twofold:
* laziness
* obedience
My major issue is with the self-proclaimed international (semantic) web
conferences, requesting works to be submitted in PDF. Shall we talk
about hypocrisy?
If you are a student, conference chair, reviewer or whatever.. reading
this, yea, you might want to reconsider:
* obedience
* laziness
Publishers have you by the..
No? Okay. :)
It is precisely that reason I will first publish my work on my site (re:
thesis), second try to meet the guidelines of the conference.
Anything else is an excuse in my humble opinion.
