"Explain Linked Data to me like I'm 5"Gather the answers, classify etc. The definition that's perceived by the community may not necessarily be "this" or "that" regardless of the recent discussions.Aside: Personally I think this discussion is important as long as there is a visible outcome for the better. It hits a pet-peeve of mine and others. For instance, if we go with the strict SemWeb, RDF and friends view of "Linked Data", the public-lod and semantic-web mailing lists are practically hijacked with announcements that requests research paper submissions to be in PDF. Apparently the community is cool with the idea that as long as the calls are made by gatherings with "Semantic Web" or "Linked Data" in their title, they can have a go with whatever is suitable for them. What this tells me is that, on one hand some (majority?) of the SW/LD community loves to side with the most recent definition of TimBL's DesignIssues/LinkedData, on another they are willing to cut corners and look the other way when it truly comes to eating their own dogfood.So, can anyone explain to me what is the real-world implication of having the definition one way or another especially when the SW/LD community has a difficulty getting its act together to stick to those "guidelines"?-Sarven
