David, To this specific point you made: "I believe there need to be a mechanism for rewarding RDF publishing, or scolding for forgetting. Do you have that mechanism in-place? " My response: 1. Reward for RDF publishing comes down to the benefits or opportunity costs associated making a structured data contribution to the Web. If you contribute structure you open up the possibility for collective participation by others in the Web Community (users and developers). If you don't, then you incur the opportunity costs of having to do it all yourself. Expanding my response is best done by reading some of my most recent posts about the emergence of structure on the Web in general etc.. 2. The mechanism ultimately comes down to degrees to which relevant things are discovered in a given space e.g spaces espousing the virtues of Linked Data should honor our best practices and radiate the values of Linked Data, if they don't, then at the very least, as a community, we can flag omissions etc.. I pinged you about a little tweak to you exhibit Now, if my responses are not in line with your question, and I am not at ESWC 2008, but absolutely honor the value of discourse driven problem resolution, please extend this conversation via some very specific suggestions etc.. What would you like to see in place in relation to the questions you've posed? Assuming my responses aren't clear enough? -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
