[open-linguistics] Defining "Openness" for Linguistic Linked Open Data

Wed Jan 31 01:20:53 UTC 2018

G'day,

I understand the motivation for including the non-open data, but would
still prefer two graphs: one for linked open linguistic data, and one
for linked linguistic data (preferably also showing open-non-open
clearly).  I agree that there is not much point in linking non-open
resources not linked to open resources.
