Only if you think RDF triples are both fun and valuable and worthy of your
limited time no matter how passionate you might be. I don't think it
is. I've earlier
lamented the futility of our current path for semantic interchange,
and how misguided
it is, similar to how crypto-currencies and NFTs are supposed to be some
engineered techno stack that will solve all of humanity's problems,
instead of the
pile of techno fetishism missing the point and causing havoc for everyone not
savvy to the scam.

IMHO, of course. Cheers,

Alex
