This email is one of these good idea at the time type things, and may not be relevant or helpful to anyone... It seems to me that the WAI has solved one of the general problems facing the W3C There is always been a problem with people from different disciplines communicating with each other. Technical and business being just one example of a generalized problem. I do not thing the issue relates to RDF but how we present the potential of technical advancements to people with other skill sets. Personally I think this physiological barrier may be the biggest course in the slow adoption of realy useful new W3C technologies like RDF. At the WAI we have an EO who work at explaining why we are doing what we are doing - translating the technical benefits into social, business or marketing terms. I am wondering if this approach would not work well across the W3C , the business case for Xforms, rdf - benefits verses cost, risk verses opportunity. Why XHTML2.0? for managers and policy makers. ... Once policy makers decide to adopt a technology the team get sent on train courses and will adopt it. A suggestion for W3M?
