Hi Ian,

But now people are seeing some of

the data being made available in browseable form e.g. at data.gov.uk
or dbpedia and saying, "I want to make one of those".

I don't really believe that people would say after browsing dbpedia "I want
to make one of those". That's not the User Experience users expect to get.
Please remember the "Semantic-Web-UI" discussion last time. People are
tending to use/experience richer visualisations of the
data/knowledge/information in the background. I hear often, especially in
the last time, the term 'story telling' - and that's it, I think.


Actually there is a class of people that do say that. They want to be
the "dbpedia of X", whatever X is. No matter how much we can criticise
dbpedia for its appearance or data quality, we have to applaud the
fact that it defined a new category of service.

You are right, I welcomed it also, when people are saying after they have browsed dbpedia - "I want to make one of those". However, I believe also that the number X representing these people, is much smaller as the number Y of people wanting a richer User Experience.

Cheers,


Bob
