…there are some serious questions about user motivation. The semantic web suffers from a real cold start problem — how to get all that data into linked format.  Again, no single motivator will work for everybody, so the resulting motivators are so general, or so tied to implicit semantic web assumptions, that few get off the ground. Nobody wants to sit and re-encode their data into semantic web format.  But given a real problem, and the promise of a solution that just so happens to involve RDF, it will happen.
