On this excellent thread, there is little else to say … but still I will have a go

Maybe an advantage of RDF is that we can partially align schema, whereas in a more traditional world, either we do the work to do a full alignment, or we don't do it at all. Since, often, the full alignment is cost prohibitive we end up with data silos

So my contribution to this discussion is the word 'partial'
