I think the core issue that is responsible for the slow progress in data
federation is lack of reasoning capabilities supported by linked data
standards. This issue had Ben discussed many times on the ontolog forum.
Ontologies differ from databases which offer sound and complete inference in
feasible time/space. This why most common federation tecnnique is federated
database. (03)
