I really like this idea of composing selectable attributes as schemas (ala RDF). I've been fairly reluctant in adopting specs into my own code, mostly because in a lot of cases I just didn't see the benefit (not for the things I typically do, not saying I wasn't interested in generative testing and the likes ... those still seem very promising but also hard to get right). Especially, when dealing with "distributed" things (like the world wide web, where everything is maybe and only some things useful). And, RDF got this surprisingly right. I was sort-of half expecting him to also introduce PROLOG into it, but maybe next time. The idea of collections of subject-predicate-object statements forming an isomorphism with graphs, and sets of these statements form concrete "aggregates" plays extremely well with the idea of unification through search. Somewhat tangentially, it also keeps reminding me somehow of Alfred North Whitehead's concepts of reality as process flows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_North_Whitehead#Whitehead's_conception_of_reality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_North_Whitehead#Whitehe... "In summary, Whitehead rejects the idea of separate and unchanging bits of matter as the most basic building blocks of reality, in favor of the idea of reality as interrelated events in process. He conceives of reality as composed of processes of dynamic "becoming" rather than static "being", emphasizing that all physical things change and evolve, and that changeless "essences" such as matter are mere abstractions from the interrelated events that are the final real things that make up the world."
