Free Flowing Comments via Linked Open Data

One of the real challenges associated with the Semantic Web vision and Linked Open Data (which it depends on fundamentally) is the fact that it is so easily misunderstood on so many fronts. For instance, demonstrating its data definition, dissemination, and integration prowess can often be misconstrued as either spam of some form of jailbreaking etc.

Looking at the image I've attached to this post is an example of the point I am trying to make, using comments as an example.

The Problem

Comments are increasingly pegged to a specific space on the Web (e.g., this particular space provided by LinkedIn). Unfortunately, comments are typically powerful sources of data, information, and knowledge which implies confinement to a single space in fundamentally contradictory, at best.

The Solution

Embedding data constructed using Linked Open Data principles within your comments. Net effect, your comments become space agnostic in that you can place them anywhere on the Web without losing intent.

Example

Here's a chunk of data that was deleted from a comment I made possible because it was misunderstood or purely due to its aesthetics.

In English:

I am commenting about the post at: <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/semantic-web-15-years-since-scientific-american-philip-sheldrake/>, that has "the Semantic Web" as its main topic (entity of prime focus or subject heading), is about the main topic of the post at <http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/9COH4HEZ>, and mentions other entities which happen to be the main topics of the following documents:

The aforementioned comment is also the main entity of the document segment in which it resides.

In Abstract RDF Language:

Fundamentally, this is about subject->predicate->object or entity->attribute->value based sentences inscribed to documents using a variety of notations. In this particular case I am using Turtle Notation due to its compactness and readability:
