Yes, I do.

I would also add the world of JSON-based
Web APIs which are going to exist behind firewalls -- maybe this is the
non-public counterpart to item 5.

Entity Relationship Model, Big Data, Linked Data, RDF, and the Semantic
Web Project

All,

Clearly an important topic. I would like to openly discuss what I see as
frustrating disconnects across:

1. Entity Relationship Model as the vehicle for unified views over disparate
data -- by exploiting Entity Relationship Semantics
2. Big Data -- the latest and greatest moniker/meme hybrid associated with
challenge of exponentially growing data volume, velocity, and variety 
3. Linked Data -- topic of a meme by TimBL that describes a principled
approach to Webby structured data construction and publication to the Web
(i.e., how to make Webby data objects)
4. RDF -- enhancement to Entity Relationship Model enhanced with explicit
machine comprehensible Entity Relationship Semantics
5. Linked Open Data Cloud -- massive collection of Webby data objects (resources)
constructed and published in line with TimBL's Linked Data meme
6. The Semantic Web Project/Vision -- the Web as a Big Data cloud comprised
of RDF based Webby data objects .

Discussion question: do the points outlined above effectively connect the
dots between today's Big Data meme and the Semantic Web Project's vision,
effectively? I assume others on this list find these items artificially
disconnected?
