Re: Outdated linkeddata.org website

Dear Hugh,

o linkeddata.org could feed off a subset of semanticweb.org, by re-skinning

o linkeddata.org might simply lead to semanticweb.org


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 J�rgen that
linkeddata.orgshould 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.
