IMO, the (object->fact->links) is what RDF/RDFS/OWL does. So that complements those layers of the cake. The objective of the cake (the semantic web) is to allow serendipity and discovery. So I retract and what I said before. Discovery cannot be a layer; it should be Inference. The fifth layer is t

Hi, one of the things we are doing categorization into DMoz hierarchy. However while it was easy to create sameAs links for recognized entities to dbPedia&others, I was dazzled by the lack of DMoz URIs where RDF data would reside that would represent the categories and their relationships. So wha

Hi, I'm not sure about the discovery part - that seems to be more a meta- layer with data describing linked datasets (VoiD [1]). However, I agree that inference would have to be in layer 4 and up. Things like non-explicit object consolidation, vocabulary and ontology mapping, etc. will be
