• What Would You Do With Your Own Google?

  by Steve Yegge

You even can have your own copy of the entire world's public semantic data. What do you do with it? If you're not sure yet, I've got plenty of ideas for you.

• Living In A Relational World

  by Brian Aker

  We love data, and today we generate data in astronomical amounts. When we hit save on a document, snap a photo, or fill out a form online, we want to know that this data will persist, and we want to know that we can share, access, or reference it in the future. For any meaningful use, we need to how data relates to other data.
