I guess that's actually what I was trying to say (albeit maybe not clearly enough) with the capital 'T' in 'The Semantic Web'... ie there's plenty of value in 'the Semantic Web' (small 't') right now. Jim,

thanks for stopping by, and for the comment.

I guess that’s actually what I was trying to say (albeit maybe not clearly enough) with the capital ‘T’ in ‘The Semantic Web’… ie there’s plenty of value in ‘the Semantic Web’ (small ‘t’) right now.

Why is that so hard for people to figure out??
