... his standard, and by now getting rather repetitive, passionate and
almost comically biassed diatribe against RDF and OWL and XML and
anything to do with the Semantic Web. Of course, his small company is
free to adopt the operational strategy which suits them best. From
what I know of VivoMind, their core business does not appear to be
closely related to the goals of the SWeb. However, other small (and
some large) companies appear to disagree with him about RDF . As one
example, take a look at MindCite. (02)
I point this out not in a spirit of criticism but only to provide some
reassurance to those who might find SW technology of interest. As on
a number of other topics, John's views are both idiosyncratic and very
starkly stated, admitting of very little discussion or debate. I am
not particularly fond of OWL myself, but to attribute all uses of it
to pointy-haired bosses who have drunk the kool-aid is misleading, and
indeed something of an insult to a large number of very smart people
of my acquaintance. (03)
