Static (due to periodic Extract and Load aspect of RDF production) 2. Subjectively assumed to IP claim safe Dynamically generated Linked Data via wrappers also have their characteristics: 1. Dynamic (RDF generated "on the fly") 2. IP vulnerabilities (that are inherently subjective) > > Static vs. dynamic is about implementation techniques.

My focal point is: what are we counting? Stuff in a warehouse or stuff generated "on the fly". You can count whats in a warehouse, but you can't count (in a meaningful way) what's generated "on the fly" unless you can count all the information resources on the Web. Anyway, I think we close this matter as either conclusion (true/false dichotomy or stats) have limited value (imho). I am much more interested in what is now achievable as a result of the Linked Data that is now part of the Web :-) Kingsley > > Cheers, > Richard > > > >> >> >> I wonder :-) >> >> >> -- >> >> >> Regards, >> >> Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen >> President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com >> >> >> >> >> > > -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
