Re: I'm probably just worrying again

I think category theory has a lot to offer when welded with knowledge
graphs like those expressed in RDF. It could result in safer and more
convenient ways to handle data with semantics, or even negotiating
supported crypto suites/data integrity systems via type systems. Then you
can prove that two things can plug together before trying it.
