*Don't forget the, uh, spimey web semantic problems:
http://dataspora.com/blog/the-rise-of-the-data-web/
"Documents are made of “words and enthusiasm”: sonnets, cake recipes, blog posts, Supreme Court rulings, and dictionary definitions. Their core stuffing is text. Their structure is unpredictable and irregular — even fractal.
"Data are not created but collected (something given, not something made): city temperatures, stock prices, web visitors, and home runs. They are observations in time and space, with periodic and predictable structure. Data are reorderable and divisible: you can relay city temperatures in any order, but you can’t rearrange a Shakespearian sonnet without muddling its meaning. Some documents are so meaningful as to be considered sacred.
Data are, in this regard, meaningless on their own; they do not signify, they simply are. These data are the utterances of the spimes that surround us...."
