Olaf has brought a good question to the table. I would assume that Linked Data is not well known in the "web 2.0" community, IMO. Furthermore, this is somethig that I personally experience everyday with the community of developers in Austin. That is why we have started a sig group: semantic web Austin (www.semanticwebaustin.org) I'm going to take this opportunity to share with everybody here that Tom Heath will be coming to Austin next month and delivering a tutorial on Linked data, specially for those developers who are not aware of it. So maybe we can't answer Olaf's question yet. But I know that there is a list somewhere of commercial applications that are using/consuming Linked Data (can somebody point us to the link?) I would sugget that this would indicate the awareness of developers and companies about Linked Data Juan Sequeda www.juansequeda.com On Jan 22, 2009, at 9:32 AM, Tom Heath <tom.heath@talis.com> wrote: > > Hi Olaf, > > What's your overall goal?
