Bruce,
Frankly I'm tired of discussing it. Show me a compelling application
of RDF -- something that solves a problem that I have, in a way that
is better or more efficient than other methods and I'm yours. After
_years_ of waiting for anyone to do something compelling with it, I'm
still waiting. And if you intend to point me to FOAF, I can save you
the trouble.
