Linked Data tech market; Data Web Servers, anyone?

Hi guys,

Believe me or not, we will soon have a "Data Web Server" market ( just
as we once had Document Web Servers market ). Data Web Servers publish
data/rdbms to the Data Web. Just like Document Web Servers publish
your document/file system to the web.

Of course, Data Web Servers will also be Document Web Servers.

In this hypothetical context, what would be a proper way of describing RDFa?
"A way of embedding data into Document Web Servers" ?
Probably, yes.

Anyway, for me RDF is a non-intrusive augmentation of the URI address
space by adding a second dimension ( columns ), just like URIs were a
non-intrusive augmentation of the IP address space by adding more rows
( to reach documents *within* computers ).

It baiscally answers this question: how do I put my spreadsheet/table
on the web?

I have been selling semweb as middleware for 6 years using such
stories and explanations, and they just make total sense.  I have
accumulated quite a bit of sales material.

So, here's a ( totally raw ) sampler ;)

OK. Now annihilate me ;)
Blasphemy!

But, seriously. Next time you're in front of a customer and he's
showing you the door after 20 mins of SW story, you'll probably
remember this ;)

Regards,
A

PS. Anyway, when the MKT guys kick in, all the SW purity will be left
to the annals of history. It's the same old story ;)
