Where you see resistance is when it is suggested to replace entire working protocol stacks with multiple interoperable implementations with something that is slightly more convenient for such LD backends. > > I just dont think its in the DNA of most people in the LD community to > operate in such an environment, and many have understandably reduced > participation or walked away. > You are saying there is an RDF gene?

The technology in this group is working together for the most part. Maybe the upcoming calls focused on https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols/ can help document and converge further.
