>> Can you please then setup a pool asking "Does creating and >> publishing Linked Data require knowledge of RDF?"
I would be willing to make such a poll if it seemed that people wanted it, but I don't think it is necessary. There are *many* document formats that can carry RDF, and it seems self-evident that someone who publishes an RDF-interpretable format like JSON-LD or (GRDDL-enabled) XML may not understand RDF **at all**. This is one of the great benefits of RDF being syntax independent. The JSON-LD group understood this very well and did a great job crafting the JSON-LD spec to ensure that web developers would *not* have to understand RDF in order to happily publish their JSON-LD.
If the data is *interpretable* as RDF, then who cares whether the publisher understood RDF? It seems irrelevant to me.
