I would add, and I think this is critical, how does this relate to Linked Data. Note, in this case Linked Data is something achievable using RDF and a variety of other syntaxes. Linked Data is about Identifiers that resolve to Referent Representations. These Representations take the form of EAV/SPO graph pictorials. Thus, as stated repeatedly, RDF isn't the sole option, so when we speak about Linked Data goals RDF is ultimately orthogonal, at best. Of course, again as stated repeatedly, not being the sole option != useless. RDF is actually very useful. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen President& CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca: kidehen
