I guess I was trying to smoke out his reasoning for choosing "linked data" as the only worthwhile semantic web technology. Let me clarify, and have a look at this ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web_Stack Linked data is the bottom four boxes out of a total of 12 (13 if you count the top one), where the ones missing is things like Trust, Proof, Logic, Querying, Ontologies and Taxonomies, all things that I thought it was evident belonged at the core of what library science is all about. It simply astounds me the lack of understanding from the library world on these things, so sad to see that these things aren't linked up; you *are* what these things are about! Sure, linked data is easier; that's why everyone is doing it, have been doing it for years. But you're missing out in fields that should be second-nature to you.
