This is not at all to say that semantically linking datasets isn’t valuable. On the contrary! I believe that coating old, weather-beaten databases with a coat of semantic paint is awesomely valuable. It makes creating ETL pipelines that bring together data from all kinds of locations a breeze as compared to traditional, relationally-oriented ETL pipelines. It’s hardly even fair to compare the two approaches, except insofar as the maturity of the traditional technologies is concerned, and I’ll try to pick up on specific reasons for this belief in future posts. In fact, I see semantics as enabling on-demand datamarts in ways that traditional data integration technologies simply have failed to do
