I don't agree with you. You have a vision and notion of a LOD app. and of course you're entitled to that, but it really isn't fair to present that as a blanket reality. What is a LOD application in your world view? We really have to speak a little clearer these days with more specifics. As Hugh commented, and I concur with, a LOD solution should simply tap into the FORCE that LOD injects into the Web. In short, users shouldn't even think in terms of LOD applications they should simply think in terms of the Web delivering more capabilities to applications and solutions. > > That the bubbles continue to grown is however a sociological > interesting phenomen :-) > > On the positive side, i recently reviewed some work by someone who > has a very interesting way to create a diagram which actually helps by > showing which queries can be asked.

Well, they can use the FORCE and put it out. When did ESWC have monopoly over the ability to put something out to the public that has value?
