What is the use of this then? Humans don’t need structured data to exchange information and if this is insufficient to communicate it to the machine then it won’t be a great human to machine format either.
- pdonis 6y ago> Humans don’t need structured data to exchange information Maybe we don't need it, but it often helps. Also, this data format isn't necessarily for humans to exchange data with other humans, but for humans to give data to applications in a format that's much easier for humans to use. > if this is insufficient to communicate it to the machine Not at all. Each specific application can easily parse this data format according to its own needs. What this data format doesn't specify is a single translation into application data that is the same for all applications. But applications don't need or want that, because they have different use cases.
