So once the linked data is downloaded into one's own system and kept, it is no longer linked data?  Even though that data is still represented by a link in the "record"?  

Here where a logging truck crashing into a pole regularly interrupts web availability, I'll bet any data retrieved for display will be stored for possible future use, rather than retrieved from the web every time the resource metadata is consulted.

When we were producing microform and print catalogues with cross references, we has authorities stored in our system.  Once we stopped producing such products (due to OPACs), we depend of their being online at LC and LAC, doing without them when linkage is down.  I don't see how where the linked data is stored, inhouse or on the web, affects its being  linked as opposed to being text.

Seems a strange distinction to me.
