In my dream scenario this is how it would work (in short this is what I hoped for a few years ago when the Cambridge Gatherings started): 1. Linked Data enthusiasts (heterogeneous profiles) gather at some event 2. Someone tosses out a HTTP URI that Identifies something that has a structured description, he/she does their thing with it (maybe shows off their browser, query tool, data store, etc.) 3. Another person comes along shows something else, but the subject HTTP URI doesn't change until another becomes more interesting, in line with session progression. Its the year 2009, I really don't see anything mercurial about the dogfooding pattern outlined above. Linked Data meme is not about programmers solely. Its supposed to be inherently inclusive :-) -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
