I think the strength of adopting RDF is that it doesn't tie us to a single

approaches, but that we need to think slightly differently about how this is
done - more application profiles than 'one true schema'.

I dont understand the thinking and waste of time scanning entire csv

and use less server memory.

csv files are what I have- they are easy for the not-technically inclined

It's certainly true that limited energy motivates the need to minimize
