RE: [xml-dev] Semantic Web permathread, iteration n+1 (was Re: [ xml-dev] InfoWorld agrees with Elliote Rusty Harold)

Ever try to query a database for which you have no schema? 

Think of hooking up an ad hoc query generator to a distant 
database that changes from time to time, might be in a different 
natural language, and so forth.  Metadata starts to look very 
appealing to the human.  Sometimes you don't want a list of 
URIs back; you want a report.
