Yes I've checked it out recently. From my understanding of the solid project it is focused on end users while linkedrecords is focused on enterprise collaboration scenarios.
Here is a small piece of text regarding this I've pulled from my notes:
Both the Solid project and LR share a foundational vision: decoupling data storage from software vendors and enabling interoperability across applications. In both approaches, data is stored in a vendor-independent backend.
However, the two systems differ in their focus and technical priorities. Solid is primarily concerned with personal data sovereignty. It empowers individual users to host their own “data pods” and control access on a per-resource basis using access control lists. In contrast, the LR architecture is tailored to enterprise-level SaaS scenarios, where data collaboration across roles and teams is essential. It supports fine-grained, logic-based access control policies embedded directly in a triplestore backend, enabling rich authorization scenarios without requiring domain-specific backend logic.
Solid prioritizes decentralized identity and personal agency, aiming to let users choose where their data is hosted and who can access it—typically across diverse web applications. LR, on the other hand, assumes a centralized or semi-centralized backend under customer control (e.g., an organization’s IT department or a trusted third party), while still preserving vendor independence.
LR provides a flexible API that enables single-page applications (SPAs) to dynamically query all resources a user has access to, based on the authorization logic encoded in the triplestore. In contrast, the Solid project addresses this challenge through the use of typed indexes—explicit data records maintained by each application to list identifiers (URLs) of resources relevant to the user. While this mechanism enables some level of resource discovery, it introduces overhead: applications must create, update, and sync these index records manually. This approach becomes particularly cumbersome in multi-user scenarios where different users have access to different subsets of resources.
