Re: What's the Value Prop. of Linked Data?

Juan,

Linked Data is not just a new tool that helps you develop faster ;)
Kingsley is hinting just that. This is an industry changer.
IT is there to help people and companies do "things". In this case,
the "how" is also an enabler of new "what"s.

Go back to when the web started: It was a developer toy... but in
retrospective, it enabled new levels of communication and changed the
way business, health, education, government and life happens around
the world.

Developers are only a small segment in the larger value chain that
linked data will soon come to be.

This is a very neat exercise ;)
Would love to see it evolve.... ( I will make my contributions as I
can. killing bugs now ).

Best,
A
