This article is quite well-researched and argues that the meritocracy that you imagine doesn't exist in practice. As such you don't respond to the article at all, but for some reason feel compelled to use snarky tropes (whatever, sad, downh

Yes, like the HTML web this web of data grows by network effects. The "Semantic Web" was only ever a data model and exchange formats - a standard to guide independent efforts. Now, of course, a lot of that data will be protected by the inte
