We have to teach RDF by encouraging folks to craft Turtle by hand, as a 
first step. Making triples visible is the key to this endeavor. 
Historically, as exemplified by RDF/XML, losing the triple in syntax 
ultimately loses the plot. IMHO., HTML with RDFa or Micordata embeded 
don't address this fundamental issue, neither does JSON-LD (which is for 
JS developers).

The value of TimBL's point is best appreciated once there's acceptance 
of the notion that folks (profile: end-user and/or integrator / tech 
plumber) will ultimately start the Linked Data journey by crafting 
Turtle by hand.

Unlike HTML, crafting Turtle by hand is both useful and extremely 
practical.
