Once again, there is a very important, but easy to overlook message (and
lesson) that's emerged from these threads i.e., introducing new
technology requires "aboslute minimum" examples. These basic examples
are crucial; which is why putting apps/services ahead of this crucial
step ultimately obscures pathways to concept comprehension.
I use Turtle (without prefixes and relative URIs) as a "best practice"
for keeping triples in full view (without distraction) when trying to
demonstrate what Linked Data enables. This approach should really apply
to any new concept that's based on Linked Data. Once the concepts are
understood (via minimalist examples), the utility of tools, apps, and
services become obvious :-)
