I checked the poll and find missing general ICT infrastructure in place and access thereto. In countries with poor ICT infrastructures we cannot even discuss semantic web technologies and open data.
The biggest hurdles to acceptation and adoption are not purely technical or conceptual, but of access to general ICT infrastructure and in particular open access to repositories. How about a global survey of preconditions and criteria for adoption of linked data and semantic web technologies?
