Hoi,
I do not mind RDF. I do not mind OWL. What I do mind is that people assume
that everyone assumes that others know what it means and appreciate it as
being "good". When people use an RDF tool that produces obviously
incomplete and therefore incorrect information, it is beyond me that an
implementation of that tool is developed. It is plain stupid.
When you argue that it is fine for people to be stupid, I totally agree.
They may be but let them be stupid with something other than Wikidata.
Because everything they do, is GIGO: garbage in garbage out. They will make
the most weird and wonderful pronouncements and it will all be wrong
because it is based on incomplete and incorrect data. It will not always be
obvious who is stupid. The worst part is that they do not need to be
stupid; it is easily prevented; just do not provide them with the tools
that will only serve us wrong.
That is the kind of RDF files that I object to.
Thanks,
GerardM
