Works for me. I doubt an algorithm. Just roll out in waves. However, more to the point is "Stings to Things that are Nameless" != Linked Data and the Semantic Web.

Yes, it's an utter nonsense. It has nothing whatsoever to do with semantics, semweb. It is just a fancy catalogue, remarkably similar to what is being developed at Yell (Yellow pages) to mediate directory listings, especially for mobile clients. It is a way for the big three to cut into the directo
