And yet for the last 50 years they've been creating MARC?
For the last 20, they've been making EAD, TEI, etc?
As with any of these, there is an expectation that end users will not be
hand rolling machine readable serializations, but inputting into
interfaces.
That is not to say there aren't
Eric,
I can't help but think that part of your problem is that you're using
RDF/XML, which definitely makes it harder to understand and visualize the
data model.
It might help if you switched to an RDF native serialization, like Turtle,
which definitely helps with regards to seeing RDF.

I am of two minds when it comes to Linked Data and the Semantic Web.
Libraries and many other professions have been encoding things for a long time,
but encoding the description of a book (MARC) or marking up texts (TEI), is not
the same as encoding knowledge — a goal of the Semantic Web. The

I would add (to further abuse your metaphor) that it’s also possible to make a
delicious dish with simple ingredients. With minimal knowledge, most
non-computer science-y folks can cook up some structured data in RDF, maybe
encoded in RDFa and deliver it on the same HTML

at this earlier, but it's time to do it right.)

Very funny but untrue. While it is certainly possible to create an
insecure TLS certificate, for all we know it is not true that TLS has
been broken in general.
It is still one of the most usable protections
Let me second Ross's cautions here. The Internet Archive made the leap
to https about 10 days ago and there are still services that are broken
because of it. c4l should be simpler because there aren't services like
