Awesome rant Richard! I think this bit would work better live : > I want to tell the publishers of these web pages that they could join the web of data just by adding a few @rels to some <a>s, and a few @properties to some <span>s, and a few @typeofs to some <div>s (or @itemtypes and @itemprops). And I don't want to explain to them that they should also change http:// to thing:// or tdb:// or add #this or #that or make their stuff respond with 303 or to MGET requests because you can't squeeze a dog through an HTTP connection. for arguments with value, you may have hit the nail on the head here : > Being useful trumps making semantic sense. The web succeeded *because* it conflates name and address. The web of data will succeed *because* it conflates a thing and a web page about the thing. Now tell me, why is it so easy to wind you up on these issues? Cheers, Danny. -- http://danny.ayers.name
