Re: EasierRDF

i'm afraid, you are confusing things here a little bit and comparing things
that should not be compared..
the intention of RDF is to have a framework of globally unique
(dereferenceable) identifiers with the web as a driver to establish a
universal knowledge graph.
all components of the semantic web as linked data are pretty well
standardized, which is the basis for knowledge transfer over generations.

and don't get me wrong, but if you can't drive a car, would you rather
learn to drive or try to simplify what you don't understand?
