So there's this interesting blog post about the Open Web: http://codinginparadise.org/weblog/2008/04/whats-open-web-and-why-is-it-important.html The *first* principle is:* Decentralization - Rather than controlled by one entity or centralized, the web is decentralized -- anyone can create a web site or web service.
I wonder, when will this rather obvious point also be applied to defining semantic vocabularies? :)
