Publishing News: “Hating Amazon is not a strategy”

Sorry, the parallels to the open source community and the virgins, hermits and saints that regularly abuse the vendors who support most of the successful open source projects, either directly or indirectly, was just too obvious to pass up. Apologies to Don Linn for stealing his line.

By the same token, hating RDF isn’t a strategy either. 😉

Which is why I have come to think that RDF instances should be consumed and processed as seems most appropriate to the situation. RDF is just another data format and what we make of it is an answer to be documented as part of our processing of that data. Just as any other data source. Most of which are not going to be RDF.
