Soren,

Since this suggestion came from me, in response to a question posed at 
the last Semantic Web Gathering re: How do I explain the value of 
Rdb2Rdf to my CIO? Let me clarify:

This use-case should be constructed with silo / data portability pain 
alleviation in mind. Web 2.0 produces silos at an alarming rate with no 
solution to the problem in sight. Rdb2Rdf technology addresses this 
prevalent Web 2.0 death knell by meshing the silos into a Linked Data 
graph that ultimately delivers holistic views of the aforementioned 
silos, from a person, dept, or organization wide perspective.

This is the sweet spot re. value proposition for decision makers 
investing in Web oriented technology :-)
