[sc34wg3] Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled identifiers yearning to be used.

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!

I don't post about my posts, at least not very often, but I really liked 
the title for this one.

BTW, "big data" is becoming a funding priority in the U.S. I assume 
elsewhere as well.

Incompatible semantics are about to collide, in some cases rather 
spectacularly. (In case you don't remember, the U.S. burned $125 million 
in satellite into Mars b/c of an English vs. metric incompatibility.)

Not that a topic map would have helped catch the problem but it might 
have helped to prevent it.

Can't promise anything that spectacular but you can't ever tell.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Patrick
