Why we can't give up the concept of document in the era of Linked Data

Abstract

Linked Data represent one of the most interesting and effective uses of open data, allowing the connection of data hosted by multiple digital archives and thus producing innovative information systems. On the other hand, they involve a few problems such as data sources and coarse data: that's why the more the deconstructive logic implied by Linked Data moves the concept of document to the background, the more we can't give it up, because only by preserving the concept of document we can contain the information “liquidity” into stable structures that are essential for our lives and society.
