[open-bibliography] Fwd: [LODLAM] Get Yourself a Linked Data Piece of WorldCat to Play With

Fri Aug 17 18:10:25 UTC 2012

Luc, I think this reflects an answer to your question. As with much that 
happens in computer technology, some of us have to depend on others. I 
find making our wishes clear helps guide those kind souls who have the 
necessary skills. Maybe we can work further with Tom and others to spell 
out what we need for this to be usable for us.

What we still need in the RDF world is the application that would do for 
the Semantic Web what Mosaic did for the Web: make it viewable and 
usable by the non-programmer. But first we have to have an actual 
Semantic Web, and I think that's still in progress in a strict sense.
