To me the whole pitch is a bit too nebulous and seemingly inconsistent. What does it mean with "portable" and "interoperable" data standards? Does that mean specific file formats? Protocols? Apps? What do they mean with "Linked Data"? What's novel about this, what makes it different from hyperlinks or shared Dropbox folders? Why does it say pods are decentralized data stores, but then on the "about" page it tells me I have to host the pod on a server - how is that decentralized?

Linked Data does have a concrete definition: RDF data that is accessible through SPARQL, with well defined semantics. That is, following a published ontology and re-using existing vocabularies as much as possible. Linked Data itself is not novel: https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data https://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/data
