Aha. OK.    (05)

You said that "RDF is about the entity-attribute-value model enhanced with
explicit semantics" and that RDF should not be conflated with Linked Data and
now you say that Linked Data "is basically the entity-attribute-value model
enhanced with URIs and explicit semantics". I don't get it.    (07)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data talks about "useful information using
standard formats". This could be anything - for example 7-tuples with implicit
semantics. I don't see why Linked Data should be about EAV and explicit
semantics and what the difference to RDF would be.    (08)
