Hi,
I agree with Luca's viewpoint. The W3C standard RDF model (a.k.a triple
model) is one of most fundamental piece of the technology stack defining
Linked Data (along with URIs and HTTP). I think it is important to make
understand the community that Linked Data can be serialized into
different representations (Turtle, RDF/XML, JSON-LD, N3, NTriples,
TrigG, and any future formats) , as long as they are isomorphic to RDF
model (meaning data can be converted to a set of triples and identifiers
are based on URIs). If the data are NOT convertible to RDF model, I do
not consider it as Linked Data. To make the system works, you need some
set of standards on which everyone agree: HTTP, URIs, RDF are
fundamental to Linked Data. Saying we do not need RDF model for Linked
Data is like saying we do not need URL or HTTP for the web of documents.

Very well put.
