:-) I still find statements like this amusing, especially from the
flagship organization representing the Semantic Web for healthcare and
life sciences.
Thanks for calling me the flagship organization representing the Semantic
Web for health care and life sciences ;)
(as an aside, the e-mails I write are personal opinions and not
representative for any of the organizations that I am involved in)
Back in 2006 in the "Creeps" paper, Ben and I wrote that the SWHCLS
community has spent too much time focusing on "Semantic" rather than on
"Web"... and it really hasn't changed much nearly 4 years later :-( I
honestly think that, if we all pulled in the same direction, we could make
the "Web" aspect of the Semantic Web work better than it currently does...
This is quite dissonant with the impressions that I have. The Linked Data
paradigm is very popular, and a lot of work in this area (as well as query
federation) is going on at the moment. What exactly are you missing in the
work that is currently going on?
Cheers,
Matthias
