The discussion highlights the challenges of using RDF (Resource Description Framework) in practical, commercial settings due to its academic-driven tooling and complex modeling issues.

Why it matters: RDF tooling is mostly academic, often buggy, limiting its use in mission-critical commercial applications.

The big picture: RDF's modeling complexity and ambiguity hinder consistent data representation across different domains and use cases.

The stakes: Without clear standards and robust tools, RDF adoption remains low, risking wasted effort and fragmented data integration.

Commenters say: Many criticize RDF’s academic bias, unclear definitions, and modeling challenges, while hoping for improvements in upcoming specification updates.
