Re: How the father of the World Wide Web plans to reclaim it from Facebook and Google

Kingsley,

Most of the interesting open data related platforms plug into Virtuoso.

I think you need to step it up a bit, and am happy to help, but am unsure
of the best way to go about it.

If SoLiD is Virtuoso compatible, I think the answer is bit of a
no-brainer.  Question remains one of business systems, rather than
exclusively Tech.

I would encourage the development of a forum to aid with the development of
installable solutions that have a "human rights" styled licensed, which
in-turn is something that has been discussed in various forms, but as yet
does not exist.

Creative commons is a great precident, but isn't fit for purpose.

Timh.
