My 2 cents: (01)
If we're talking sales.... selling to improve adoption (02)
We need to sell on the (03)
Flexible Data Model (04)
(got this from Toby Toby Segaran Data Magnate Metaweb Technologies (just
acquired by Google). He gave the keynote this morning at CSHALS (05)
http://www.iscb.org/cshals2011-program/cshals2011-keynote/cshals2011-keynote-segaran (06)
His slides are here: http://kiwitobes.com/presentations/SegaranCSHALS2011.pdf (07)
(that is underlying the ontology (e.g. RDF)) and that there can be many
(stakeholder) views on top of that Flexible Data Model. And terminology can be
standardized, however, the nice thing about standards, is there are so many to
choose from :) (08)
with the flexible data model, new "fields" can be added without breaking the
schema
we can put different ontologies - that are created for different purposes,
selling "one ontology fit's all" will not work (imho) - because it doesn't work. (09)
also sell easy merging (with the flexible data model, when using a standard
terminology (thereby putting the terminology argument in context)
this would also facilitate "deep querying" to answer complex questions (010)
