As such, few people get paid to do it.


you are right! I work as a consultant, not as a researcher, and I can say
it's even harder to propose those development to clients: everyone seems to
want those tools, but anyone seems to like the idea of spending time and
resurces to try develop something in that direction :-) I've tried at least
3 times in the last years, maybe the next will be the good one eheh. I
agree on your thoughts, then

Nice, I think this coudl be an interesting scenario... I know it put things
off from RDF world, but in some sense is still possible to manage uris for
things
