Thank you; this gives me a means of illustrating my point.

Take the example of my name as given by Marcus:

Jon Lang{{#subobject name|personal=Jonathan|nickname=Jon|family=Lang}}

In order to set up a Semantic Glossary that uses Jon Lang as the term and
information from {{#subobject
name|personal=Jonathan|nickname=Jon|family=Lang}} to build a definition, you
would need a person to intervene, as there are no semantics connecting the
former to the latter: human intuition can make the connection, but a
machine lacks the necessary tagging to do so.  Contrast this with:

{{#subobject name|personal=Jonathan|nickname=Jon|family=Lang|Jon Lang}}

In this case, it would be trivial for a machine to deduce that Jon
Langshould be the term associated with the definition that's built
from the
rest of the #subobject.
