Juan,

Enterprise:

Problem: I am an executive trying to figure out how Linked Data will 
help me. My biggest problem is connecting the dots across disparate data 
sources associated with a myriad of enterprise applications. I though 
SOA was the solution?

Web SaaS App. User:

Problem: I am a Web user, I blog, I share bookmarks, I am on many 
social-networks, I can't find anything.  I am also beginning to realize 
that I don't own my own data.  How does Linked Data help me Find things 
and reclaim ownership of my data? Even better, enable me to use the Web 
productivity bearing in mind there are only so many hours in a day.

Government:

Problem: I am bailing out every conceivable national behemoth in my 
local economy, how did we get here? Can Linked Data help me?
