I have been developing this Genealogy website which I will have a TBC component that is separate eventually. I was looking for help on Odesk.com and someone said that he found the Semantic Web very interesting but he admitted he was very new to this area and so he didn't want to be hired until he got up to speed.
Anyway, we have been looking at the ways that a Semantic Web application can be different and better - open data, open database, global database, etc. He brings up an important point when trying to promote this or "sell" this to a public that may not be all very tech savvy. They care about benefits and features. ... whether it is the benefits of Open-Linked Data or other features of the giant global graph, and the reasoning that can be done. I could use any advice or ideas on how we can promote the benefits of Semantic Web Technologies and applications. My future helper pointed out the question why not just do this with a relational db model. I think we got stuck on the fact that even if there is other data out there that we can query, we have to know the URI where it is located. However, there indeed are ways to discover this information. Some of this, in this last paragraph deals with technical issues which may not be of interest to those who only care about features and are not tech savvy. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback, I'm collecting all the ideas I get - it's always been a challenge to me to "sell" Semantic Web Technologies or the Semantic Web, no matter how fascinating it is to me and fun.
