Totally agree. It is huge. Of course. We all agree. But we are a "Linked Open Data" community not an "Open Data" community. So as a LOD community we should raise more awareness and NOT be satisfied with this data just being open (3rd star?), we should strive for better data using URIs and Interlinks (5 stars). Not being satisfied with something will raise more awareness and convince people to use what we are preaching!

# Shows it's all good! #

Less is more, most of the time. Even if this was actually only about Open Data, we still have a massive win due to the fact that Linked Data transformation complexity is drastically reduced :-)
