A World Wide Web of data

The video above is a TED talk featuring Tim Berners-Lee presenting the idea of linked data. It's a tremendous idea, though I wonder if Sir Tim has sort of given up on his push for the Semantic Web and gone about it sideways with linked data. Data can give documents on the web semantic meaning, but it can also exist all on its own - kind of Sir Tim's point.

Also, how cool is it that he can just say "that World Wide Web thing? Yeah, I made that."

So this hasn't died on the vine?

Wow, I've been away a long time. Things are going well - I'm wrapping up the first college course I've taken in eight and a half years, I'm involved in a library leadership institute once a month for most of this year, and so on and so forth.

But that's not why I'm posting. I'm posting to ask everyone a very important question: what is your web culture quotient?
