The Pathetic Fallacy of RDF

Graphs have limited value, even for many of the tasks which they are supposed to support. The harder question coming from this interrogation is how do we elegantly support the range of possible interactions both in pre-defined Semantic Web applications and in dynamic explorations of Semantic Web resources?? We have only sketched out some examples of current SW applications to support old tasks better and in new ways enabled by the Semantic Web, and to explore more dynamically SW-RDF resources for user-determined exploration. As is evident, much more innovative work is possible and needs to be done.

since the data model is a graph, the UI has to be, too, no?
