Stuggy - thanks for the comment. 'Evil' ? Surely it's a tool and, as a tool, it can be
used in a whole range of ways that some might consider either 'good' or 'evil' ?
Aren't proper protections for personal data the domain of laws and social
pressure/norms, rather than an excuse or reason not to move forward with any of
this.
And even with private and protected data, Semantic Web ideas and techniques have
much to offer in streamlining processes inside the data-holding organisation
without in any way meaning that the data 'has' to be exposed to the open web.
