Wow -- there is a whole lot to like in that document. Affirming the need to work with dynamic statements and strings-to-URLs is great. The only comment I could offer would be -- with the exception of a tangential mention in the description of SD4 -- that there isn't a mention of linked data environments outside the traditional library/researcher space. I was hoping to see a mention of Freebase, wikidata, and other similar broad communities. (The mention of working with Code4Lib technologists is nice, too.) This is a great strategic document to start working from.
