Potential Risks -
(1) Loss of control over institutional data; (2) The originator of elements of the bibliographic records challenges release as open data [see also UC1, UC3, UC4, UC5, UC6, UC7, UC15, UC16, UC17]; (3) Loss of future revenue [see also UC1]; (4) While there is currently some momentum behind the Linked Data movement, many of the expected benefits remain, to a large extent, unproven, and some commentators believe that the approach is too complex to gain widespread adoption.
