The Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud has been around since 2007.
Throughout the years, this prominent depiction served as the epitome
for Linked Data and acted as a starting point for many. In
this article we perform a number of experiments on the dataset
metadata provided by the LOD cloud, in order to understand better
whether the current visualised datasets are accessible and with an
open license. Furthermore, we perform quality assessment of 17
metrics over accessible datasets that are part of the LOD cloud.
These experiments were compared with previous experiments performed
on older versions of the LOD cloud. The results showed that
there was no improvement on previously identified problems. Based
on our findings, we therefore propose a strategy and architecture
for a potential collaborative and sustainable LOD cloud
