I find this to be a fascinating topic, and I'm really enjoying the conversation.<br /><br />I confess, my original post suffers from the sin of oversimplification. I wanted to illustrate, primarily to a non-technical audience, that the business cases for linked data could range from direct revenue to indirect brand marketing. The 7 business models I listed are points along that continuum -- I sort of wedged Leigh's sponsored model up at the top of that, but it's not a perfect fit. First sign that a model is taking on water.<br /><br />When I wrote the post, I was thinking about these models mostly in the context of emitting data, admittedly one way.<br /><br />However, I agree that this "axis of revenue" is not the only -- maybe not even a particularly good -- way to categorize linked data business models. The two-way potential of linked data -- networks of interdependent data emitters and consumers -- has a lot of interesting possibilities. What you describe as a "switch," I could also envision as a kind of "dominant exchange" of multi-party data flows. In my original 7 models, I would see that as a kind of "authority" business.<br /><br />But, as they say: in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice -- but in practice there is. Real-world implementations of are likely to defy such overly neat categorization.<br /><br />And I'm sure there will be novel models that I can't even begin to imagine.<br /><br />But it's fun to try.sjbrinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441324206956498937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990922102626688253.post-78484769304617171912010-01-25T15:40:38.659-05:002010-01-25T15:40:38.659-05:00Kingsley, great links.

LINK as unit of value exchange;<br />2. value is question being: navigable Linked Data Mesh via proxy/wrapper URIs.<br /><br />Our URIBurner service is all about generating Linked Data meme compliant generic HTTP URIs that expose highly navigable Linked Data meshes. For example, you will notice that we perform lots of lookups across other Linked Data Spaces. <br /><br />Yes, you need the LINKs to work in many directions, side-ways included :-)<br /><br />Links:<br /><br />1. http://delicious.com/kidehen/goodrelations -- collection of Linked Data meshup links<br /><br />2. http://bit.ly/83kupM -- specific example of one link exposing a mesh of data from Amazon, CNET etc..<br /><br />3. http://uriburner.com -- easy way to get your stuff exposed to burgeoning Web of Linked Data.Kingsley Idehenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186794286722227377noreply@blogger.com
