So it seems that OWL 2 is essentially "a standard library of utilities for expressing complex RDF relationships" and if they'd actually *said* that anywhere it would've saved me an awful lot of time
I have been reading about OWL 2 for ten minutes now and I still have no idea what it's for
Back to reading about RDF, it is

Ugh, I can't sleep again.
It's like I get too tired to fall asleep, because being this tired makes me feel so over stimulated that I can't switch off my brain and I can just feel my body too much to relax.
Imagine trying to fall asleep in an incredibly noisy room, but the noise is physical sensation against your skin instead of auditory.
"The abbreviation IRI is short for "International Resource Identifier". An IRI identifies a resource. The URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) that people use as Web addresses are one form of IRI. Other forms of IRI provide an identifier for a resource without implying its location or how to access it. The notion of IRI is a generalization of URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), allowing non-ASCII characters to be used in the IRI character string."

I guess ad blockers work so well, they now want to make HDMI itself serve you the ads (so inserted in the signal that makes it to your display). The patent is called “HDMI customized ad insertion”
When the media device pauses the media content, the display device can determine that a pause event has occurred and insert an ad shown on the display device.

re: pondering 'open web' computer things
Historically, I've seen a lot of defenses of this sort of jargon by arguing "but the simple term isn't correct!"
And like, does it matter? Do you want something that is 'correct on paper' (by your understanding of language, that is!), or do you want something that is Good Enough and that people can *use*, that enjoys successful adoption?
re: pondering 'open web' computer things
And like, there are plenty of cool ideas in there, that *could* have worked, had they been made more broadly accessible.
The Wikipedia article about SPARQL kind of rubs salt in the wound here, with a great example; it describes "subject-predicate-object", and states that it is analogous to "document-key-value".
One of those is easy to understand and remember. The other is the canonical term for this concept in RDF-land.
pondering 'open web' computer things
Every time I read about stuff like RDF and other 'modern open web' things, I just get sad, because... I can see the dream, but it never had any real chance of the widespread success that it was going for.
Commercial developers wouldn't adopt it because it doesn't align with their incentives. Hobbyists wouldn't adopt it because the terminology is impenetrable to them.
It's not hard to see why it never became The Thing Everyone Uses, and I'm pretty sure it could've been avoidable.

I have installed an unlicensed copy of Oracle Database somewhere on your network. Give me five Bitcoins by the end of the week or I will inform Oracle's legal department.

Dieting Myth: "if you diet too long your 'metabolism' will slow down"
Now it *is* true that if you go on a diet and lose 30lbs (and don't change your activity level) you'll find you burn fewer calories daily. But, I think people are overlooking the obvious reason why. Imagine carrying a 30 pound weight around all day. That'd be like... well extra exercise.
The main reason you need fewer calories after loosing weight is because you weigh less. There is another factor at play. 1/
