The commercial world is rapidly embracing microformats because they promise to enhance online sales. The other end of linked data, linking for research and academic purposes, is mainly taking place in universities and research institutions. An interesting question is: will these two uses link together at some point, creating a single linking environment? I won't even pretend to make a guess about that. <br /><br />I suspect that the I in ROI for microdata is negligible for online vendors.Karen Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519757456533839003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338174527262061848.post-83142653468029847132012-10-29T01:24:46.186-07:002012-10-29T01:24:46.186-07:00I'm interested in the commercial perspective (...I'm interested in the commercial perspective (search engine optimization in its broadest interpretation), and the general thinking that appears prevalent is that the use of micro data/tags is at this point not yet ready for widespread use as it would generally fail the ROI test. The result is there doesn't appear to be very much attention being given to this issue in the commercial sphere.<br /><br />On the other hand the linking of data through techniques such as this is clearly stage center in the academic and research spheres, and I am seeing an increasing recognition of its growing importance reading comments of those whose typical vision is, like yours, a little past the current horizon.<br /><br />So that leaves me to ponder:<br /><br />- galling though it may be to the typical corporate masters of the universe, is the commercial world falling behind?<br /><br />- if this is the case, history tends to indicate that a period of rapid 'catch-up' whether it be in technology, education, paradigms etc creates the sort of turbulence and dislocation that typically results in some leaders missing the mark and falling by the wayside, and new entrants seizing the opportunity to obtain a footprint in a new area very quickly <br /><br />Just look at Kodak breathing its last breath coinciding with the relative neophyte Instagram being sold for $1 billion for graphic illustration of these two points.<br /><br />The trouble is there are so many subjects that potentially could change the playing field so dramatically it's a challenge to remain current while also having a business to manage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
