Re: isPrimaryTopicOf and homepage

The negative press issue just shot back up my own list after hearing
the Adam Bosworth MySQL presentation [1] (essentially "RSS is the
future data model for the Web"). He dismisses SW ideas, despite his
own suggestions being pretty close to a watered-down (full of holes)
version of the same thing. The annoyance being his dismissal is based
pretty much entirely on misconceptions (e.g. one big ontology). Very
frustrating.
Anyhow I agree 100% with your points, some random comments:
'why-rdf' - yep, that's probably the best angle for tutorial-like
material. I remember a while back a thread on xml-dev ending with a
line like "ok, I totally understand RDF technology. I just don't see
why I should use it in preference to...", which leads to -
'why not xml?' - I'm not sure how often this can be tackled head-on,
but is probably always a good starting point for RDF-exposure bearing
in mind that the SW stack includes XML and generally syntax is
secondary to good data. And XSLT.
cartoons - yes please! I reckon anything visually appealing works
wonders. The speech bubble conversation thing someone did ages ago was
pretty good (can't find link, sorry) . Also may take a bit of hunting
down but the Semaview one-page RDF intros (PDFs) were pretty nice.
Then of course the little FOAFsters are a masterpiece.
