The document discusses Linked Data Notifications (LDN), a W3C working draft that outlines a protocol for exchanging messages between applications using RDF data. It emphasizes the need for active communication in the web of data for social interaction, collaboration, and enterprise use cases, while detailing the roles of senders, receivers, and consumers in the LDN protocol. The draft also highlights security, privacy considerations, and compares LDN with other approaches like pubsubhubbub and semantic pingback.
