Pardon me for the inadvertent nuisance factor here, but there's another
typo (is foaf:primary topic instead of: is foaf:primaryTopic of). I
could edit this elsewhere, but I want to keep the thread intact: (02)
## Nanotation Start ## (03)
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/NLP#this>
is foaf:primaryTopic of
<http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2014-09/msg00091.html> ; (04)
skos:altLabel "Computational Linguistics" ; (05)

scientific evidence reveals NLP to be a largely discredited
