We consumed it ..okish at sindice.com but nobody else did, because there was no semantic web/linked data client really ever. focus was on "publish your data" and something will happen, Can we think of a client that does something useful: * for real and not for a made up use corner case easily solved with a google search + 2 clicks. * connected to the reality of everyday browsing and web usage e.g. facebook, chrome browsing or mobile and not . So forget "alice wants to publish her own foaf file. " * generic enough and giving repeated value not to be a one off thing not only usable in super narrow contexts. * for real sustainability and growth, the value must be for both data publisher and consumer,should be directly measurable in ways people understand (roi etc) the client, the use case == the value , everything follows from there. Google schema.org etc clearly hits all the above except the client its THEM and everyone goes trough them. saying this in general for those not in specific to you kingsley :) Gio
