Kingsley: Thanks for the well-written clarification. I really appreciate you defining the differences between linked data (more meshing) and the brute force mashups. I will follow up on this with more research on a few of these issues.

Nice post, but a few comments.

Linked Data is about using HTTP referencable Names (generic HTTP scheme URIs) for Data Objects / Data Items, that de-reference to HTTP accessible Data Sources (via Locator oriented HTTP scheme URIs commonly known as URLs).

There is a duality to the Generic HTTP scheme URI that enables Identity (Name)/ Access (Address) to exist in a single unit. Its this duality that enables the Linked Data magic whereby de-referencing a Data Objects Names results in access to the a structured data representation of its description (Metadata – a constellation of data relations that describe said Data Object).

Bearing in mind the above, Linked Data basically delivers the ability to Mesh disparate data sources rather that settling for brute-force data mashing as exemplified by Mashups

Enterprises have to look to work with disparate data sources in the the same way they work with data, hosted in a single DBMS from a single vendor i.e., they should look to JOIN structured Data en route to constructing holistic views over their data silos etc.. Of course, the same applies to the public Web since it too is proliferated with Data Silos courtesy of Web 2.0.
