[MOBY-dev] Commentary on centralization in the semantic web

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi dev'ers, 

I'm sure some of you have already read this, but just in case it slipped under the
radar I'm posting it to the group.  I think it is a useful commentary on the tug and
pull between the MOBY-S and S-MOBY branches of BioMOBY.  At the end of the day, I think
the only critical difference between the two projects is the registry, and this article
speaks to that issue.  I'm still looking forward to seeing
the two approaches go head to head.  Personally, I'm not particularly enamoured with 
the idea of a registry, I just don't see that the problem can efficiently be solved
without one... though I am happy to be proven wrong :-)
