Hi Ben,

I don't know if you have seen this complementary thread yet on the Linking Open Data (lod) mailing list: http://lists.w3.org/Archive....

I'm not sure, actually, that UMBEL has the right predicate for that and your use case, though your case is less like the OpenCyc one.

As for UMBEL uptake, it is happening, but slowly. We understand we are to be included on Yahoo Search Monkey soon, but it has not yet posted. For updates, you can monitor our Google group at http://groups.google.com/gr....

Thanks, Mike

Re: Web as platform: A web of data services

Hi Deepak,

I think your intuition about the Web as a platform, as a Web of data services, is correct.

We are seeing a nice confluence of RESTful Web services (what has been called WOA for Web-oriented architecture) with the RESTful Web of data, also known as linked data. We have talked (http://www.mkbergman.com/?p... about this as the first real, pragmatic expression of the semantic Web:

SW = WOA + linked data + coherent context

This simple formula becomes a very powerful combination.

Thanks, Mike
