Thanks Kingsley, timely input into the Linked Data Best Practices doc that is being drafted and will be available for review shortly.

Great!

To flesh out matters a little more with regards to <link/> or "Link:" and @rel:

1. the relationship between an HTML document (conventional i.e., not embedded data islands via RDFa, Microformats, or Microdata) in the loosest form is via "related" as opposed to "alternate" -- typically, you would be expressing the triple: <HTMLDocURL> xhv:related <SomeLinkedDataEntityName> ;

2. if an IANA predicate doesn't work then simply use the Linked Data URI of a predicate that best reflects the relationship between the HTML document and the entity denoted by a Linked Data URI -- e.g., <link rel="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso"; href={SomeLinkedDataEntityName} .../>

All,

Over the years there has been a subtle "blind spot" re. Linked Data that ultimately leads to many a debate thread about Linked Data utility and applications etc.. Thus, I would like to outline a few simple best practices that would go a long way to putting these reoccurring issues to rest, once and for all.

Whenever you publish an (X)HTML based Linked Data interface please try to achieve at least one of the following:

1. Use Linked Data URIs in @href attribute of the <a/> tag associated with the literal values that typically label the subject, predicate, or object of an RDF triple. 2. Use the <link/> tag's @rel attribute to associate the (X)HTML document with Linked Data URIs of entities it describes or simply mentions (casually or topically). 3. If you have server access and admin level privileges, repeat #2 on the server side using the "Link:" header in HTTP responses .

Irrespective of how subjectively beautiful or ugly an (X)HTML interface might be re., Linked Data display, the utility of your Linked Data is ultimately comprised if it cannot be discovered, shared, and easily referenced to by other Linked Data tools.

Remember, this is all about webby structured data that leverages the RDF data model -- an entity relationship model endowed with explicit machine (and human) comprehensible entity relationship semantics :-)

Here's a simple example from DBpedia: http://bit.ly/10wXsXF .
