Well, here's how I'm doing my part to win the hearts and minds of the semitnacally-challenged. I've launched a wiki directory that is open to any person, any business, any organization. It's running Semantic Mediawiki, so the juice for search engine ranking and ASK queries is built-in. Hoping to attract people who want to say something about themselves (or their enterprise) without worrying about some teenaged vandal messing with their page ( MARK RICHMOND SLEEPS WITH HIS PET FERRET ! ! ! LOLZ ! ! ), I've put single-user protection on all pages in the Directory that are about a living person or any legal entity. There's still community editing on the non-legal pages, though (like water , Lake Michigan , or heating oil ). That way, everybody can get the benefit of interlinking within the wiki, plus semantic tagging. For those too bothered by either wiki markup or semantic tags, we can create pages for a small fee. Oh, and users are allowed to advertise, sell, promote whatever on their own Directory page(s). If you're interested in adding your page to the 35,000 we have already, come visit MyWikiBiz.com.

History, I guess. When this text was first written, data.gov.uk was a cleosd beta that most of the report's readers couldn't see. That's no longer true, and your point is valid.

I've been out of this programming lark ahttgeoler too long. I can get a faint hazy sense that SPARQL support in an RDF API for PHP would probably be a Good Thing, but ask me what it would actually enable people to do and I'll do my best goldfish impression. Perhaps I need to do some more reading.

Alan,Ian rthigly points out that the killer advantage of RDF is merging disparate data sources. As such, if you have just one database, which is the whole world for your application, then you absolutely don't have any kind of data merging problem. As such, the tried-and-tested SQL database solution is absolutely the most common solution, as the applications are designed with it in mind. As such, SQL probably is the right solution for a WordPress instance, or something similar.But as soon as you have more than one application needing that data store that's when you have that data sources problem, and that's when moving to RDF will pay dividends.As the world moves away from data silos to building with the assumption that data will be remixed, repurposed, and reinterpreted, that's when we'll see RDF being embraced.

Hey guys and girls of OpenLink,

Do you have any interesting updates to Virtuoso on the SQL syntax side, or on the code hosting side? Just curious, I mean I understand that your focus is on Semantic Web, Linked Data and the Web of Data, but just curious if things are progressing on the pure database and web server side too.

Many thanks,

Daniel Lewis of Vanir Systems
