The Universal Pantograph Representation is the essence of networking

Kingsley Uyi Idehen :

Opaque Web pages (e.g., generated by Semantic Technology inside offerings that will not expose or share data entity URIs), irrespective of how smart the underlying page generation and visualization technology may be, a fundamentally autistic and counter intuitive as we move toward a Web of Linked Data.

Preoccupation with the “V” aspect of the M-V-C trinity is inadvertently compounding and the problem of digital autism on the Web. Unbeknownst to the purveyors of data silos and proprietary service lock-in, digital autism on the Web ultimately implies Web business model autism.

Topic maps, of course, are the very reverse of opague. Perhaps that is why it is so diffcult to see them!

NOTE Not to trash the sufferers, or the functional! It’s a metaphor. From an original post by Henry Story.
