In a short blog post – The Incomplete Web – over on O’Reilly’s net, Michael Hausenblas has just provided a wonderful little analogy (for programmers at least) regarding the motivation behind the “Web of Data (The-Thing-Formerly-Known-As-The-Semantic-Web)”. A must-read for anyone involved in building Web apps.

To date I’ve resisted the temptation to post here the personal-opinion and cat photo kind of stuff I’d normally post to my own blog (which I’m currently reorganizing). But I reckon Michael’s post justifies the exception.
