Why sell? The way people currently use JSON works for them, the main benefits RDF / linked data offer are: - Shared Vocabularies - IRIs as identifiers (follow your nose and easy data mashing) Can they get these benefits from Turtle, RDFa, RDF/XML and a host of other RDF serializations? Yes. Can they get these benefits from JSON? No. Would they appreciate these features being brought to their JSON based data? Yes. Can we help them there? Yes. Will we help them (and ourselves) there? Remains to be seen. Best, Nathan
