If we want to establish hierarchy shouldn't we have:
linkeddata.semanticweb.org
and
open.linkeddata.semanticweb.org

(OK, I'm being flippant, but making linkeddata.org an entry point for purely large open interlinked datasets, under the Cloud criteria, is a bit of a misnaming anyway)

Dear Hugh,

I like the strict separation between the two sites, I feel it should remain this way. We all agree that LOD belongs under the SW umbrella, but it's a small subset of SW, so definitely needs its own contextual domain. The separation needs to be made clear for newcomers, so mashing these two domains together isn't going to help them.

I wonder if this could be our chance to really shine and show off the benefits behind LOD. I agree with Kingsley and Jürgen that linkeddata.org <http://linkeddata.org> should be powered by the LOD cloud itself. I am just not sure I understand all the jargon they are throwing at it, but it feels like the right way.

    Question:
    What should be the relationship with http://semanticweb.org?

    It seems to me that there will always be a big overlap, certainly
    for tools, etc.
    In fact, is there anything that would go on linkeddata.org
    <http://linkeddata.org> that couldn't also usefully be on
    semanticweb.org <http://semanticweb.org>?
    If that is true, then fragmenting the sources of information for
    newcomers and others is not a good thing to do.
    And doubling the work that a contributor has to do is not good either.

    If we tried to do some amalgamation:
    o linkeddata.org <http://linkeddata.org> could feed off a subset
    of semanticweb.org <http://semanticweb.org>, by re-skinning
    o linkeddata.org <http://linkeddata.org> might simply lead to
    semanticweb.org <http://semanticweb.org>
    o There might be clever technology, using tagging etc to do
    something more sophisticated

    (I am reminded of the BBC choosing to contribute to MusicBrainz
    instead of trying to maintain its own KB.)

    Also I have been trying to find out who (if anyone) is currently
    able to make a little change to the http://data.semanticweb.org
    publishing - can anyone remind me where we are at the moment please?

    Best
    Hugh
