There may be a number of reasons for creating a central list and I am sure there are others. In this case I wasn't suggesting it as a bureaucratic and technical exercise. My reason for suggesting it was for the following.
1. It is a chance to celebrate and highlight progress in making RDF and linked data mainstream and available to general users of the Web. 2. It shows that we are not just focused on highly technical and very detailed definitions but on the ultimate outcomes of the great work that we all do. 3. It gives us a chance to discuss some of the real difficulties that we have moving from manipulating and processing RDF creating sustainable and generally beneficial applications and to help each other in this endeavour. 4. It provides an opportunity to show that we are a forward looking and positive group with a real vision for linked data. 5. It shows that we are a serious and professional group made up of experts. i.e. We have some requirements -> We think they could be only achieved with linked data ->, this is what we are doing and where we are -> it showsthere is a real need for linked data within this sector -> it shows there is a real need to linked data applications generally -> I could do with some constructive advice on how to go about achieving it from the public LOD group -> The public LOD group is a primary source of constructive advice on delivering linked data outcomes...... That's all. How about it? Dominic
