RDF is the grammar of linked data. My position has simply been that RDF is an implementation detail with regards to Linked Data. It adds useful and important value to Linked Data. As strange as this might sound, these lengthy threads are about this fundamental point which I know is defensible. RDF provides a grammar to Linked Data that's understood by RDF processors :-) Kingsley > > Tore > > * Please no comments pointing out errors in my English... -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
