A killer app is still not enough.
People can’t get HTML right for basic accessibility, so something like the semantic web would be super science that people will out of their way to intentionally ignore any profit upon so long as they can raise their laziness and class-action lawsuit liability.
- PaulHoule 2y agoI see RDF as a basis to build on. If I think RDF is pretty good but needs a way to keep track of provenance or temporality or something I can probably build something augmented that does that. If it really works for my company and it is a competitive advantage I would keep quiet about it and I know of more than one company that's done exactly that. The standards process is so exhausting and you have to fight with so many systems programmers who never wrote an application that it's just suicide to go down that road. BTW, RSS is an RDF application that nobody knows about https://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec https://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec you can totally parse RSS feeds with a RDF-XML parser and do SPARQL and other things with them.

Not only has this gotten much worse; even when you put in the stop gaps for developers such as linters or other plugins, they willfully ignore them and will actually implement code they know is determinantal to accessibility.
