I like this idea very much and its simplicity, but it seems inevitable to me that going down this path will just recreate RDF[0] and RDF Schema. A sort of a semantic web version of Greenspun's tenth rule[1].
For those of you who want to quickly get up to speed on RDF/Schema, "A Semantic Web Primer for Object-Oriented Software Developers"[2] was to me a very good introduction.
[0] From the W3C primer on RDF: "The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a language for representing information about resources in the World Wide Web."

- icebraining 14y agoI'm an RDF kool-aid drinker, but removing friction for adding somewhat structured content is always OK for me. I'd rather have a standard way of converting from the business.txt format to RDF than not have the data at all.
- maayank 14y agoAgreed! With the caveat that it should be both to and from (using some standard schema). Replied elsewhere to OP and addressed this as well.
