RDF “definitely has legs”

Thus spake Mike Stonebraker to me, on a call we’d scheduled to talk about several other things altogether. This was one day after I was told at the Text Analytics Summit that the US government is going nuts for RDF. And I continue to get confirmation of something I first noted last year — Oracle is pushing RDF heavily, especially in the life sciences market.

Evidently, the RDF data model is for real … unless, of course, you’re the kind of purist who cares to dispute whether RDF is a true “data model” at all.
