<human>:  Why is it that the URIs for the Linked Data are not URIs for the data?
<bot>: The URIs for the Linked Data are URIs for the data. I think you mean the RDF. The Linked Data repository is a collection of RDF triples. The RDF is a language that describes the world, and it is used to describe the Linked Data. The RDF triples describe the data that we want to use to answer our questions.
