Linked data is not about linking to every possible source from one source, but rather publishing your data as RDF thus allowing linkages with other datasets. See here[1]. I don't think it gets much attention in the OSM community, and I don't claim to know a whole lot about it, but the concept is applicable to what you would want to do. Given, of course, that these third party datasets are also available as RDF. In the brave new world, they will be.
