Getting Dog Hair Off Of North Face

Some considerations ...

more a person goes into the vision of the Semantic Web and related technologies, the greater the fascination that ... still gets some technicians in our industry look with a mixture of skepticism and disbelief on semantic technologies, although many years that scientists and many companies are investing in these areas.

by an employee of the research center HP in Bristol each year are invested millions of dollars on these technologies, substantial investment, no?
In reality very few projects see the light and use outside the field of research is rare (though Jena and other fruit they are, what we do without?), But we continue to invest ...
The idea is that the risks are still small compared to any successful markets are expected to crazy numbers, such as to merit so much attention ...

course all this makes sense ... it 's taken from the book "Practical RDF" - http://rdf.burningbird.net/ : I would say a great book that provides a fairly practical and comprehensive' RDF universe ... I found it very interesting, though to be fully understood, the reader should already have a smattering of both the basic Semantic Web RDF.

The elephant is RDF, and we are blind people ... this is to say what is difficult to define unambiguously and global one thing that all those who use it use different aspects:)
