Hi Folks,
I don't see Semantic web technologies replacing relational databases but as being the glue between them. In other words, for the abstraction level above the database - that which also binds it to other types of data assets.
Regards,

Hi Owen,
<Quote>
we only need ONE "database", i.e., the Web populated with valid XML
instance documents.

Yes - and more specifically, in RDF and OWL as well.

Several years ago at an eGov conference in Washington, DC, Larry Ellison
(being Larry Ellison) made the intentionally provocative statement: "We
sell databases and you (government agencies) are buying too many of
them."
His argument was that we should be implementing *larger* databases --
Oracle databases, of course.
However, I would take his argument one step further to suggest that we
only need ONE "database", i.e., the Web populated with valid XML
instance documents.
Needless to say, I too am overstating the case to be provocative.
However, I do believe there is much truth in my argument.

Thank you for the post, Tanya.
1. Problem with registration: I'll try to resolve this with you offline.
2. Database and Ontologies:

[ppy] presumably, (almost) anything related to ontologies would be
within scope for us at Ontolog. Obviously how database and ontologies
relate to each other in the next generation semantic/knowledge-based
applications would be an area well worth
delving into.
Let's find out who else is interested ... ANYONE?
Like what Tatiana has done here, if anyone is interested or working in
this area, please indicate by responding to this thread, and suggest
what you want to see and/or what you can bring to the table, as far as
this topic is concerned.
... Being a community of practice (ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CommunityofPractice) this topic
will get addressed if there is adequate interest and energy behind it
from the community.
Thanks you for highlighting this important topic, Tanya.
Regards. =ppy
