There's an interesting pull between the concept of open data and what might be called the Semantic Web "no compromise" position on linked data. The principle is:
1. Use URIs as names for things
2. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names.
3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF, SPARQL)
4. Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.
Robert Gregoire writes (in French), "No compromise in effect since these concepts are relatively new and are not yet unanimous... where it gets really interesting in the somewhat murky explanations of the previous system of Resource Management [is] RDFa, a tagging system to incorporate semantic information of RDF directly in HTML."
