 * **Catalyst/Enables** || **Statement** || **Corrodes/Disables** ||
 * collaboration amongst diverse epistemic commitments at either end of the dichotomy || the "trick" is to be consistent in the face of pragmatic realities || the limit of the trick ||
 * Web infrastructures (like APIs), social movements, governments opening data sets || Data should be free and accessible to everyone || corporate interest, surveillance ||
 * net neutrality, Web infrastructure (hypertext and 404; what Ted Nelson hates) || The Web of data should be de-centralized || push for "fast lanes" ||
 * history of work in Semantics, NLP || Data should carry meaning || claims that "numbers speak for themselves"; big data research unconcerned with meaning ||
 * W3C, communities willing to volunteer time to work in community groups || Data standards, structure will make broad data more accessible and interoperable. / Linking data will make it more discoverable. || interpretive adherence to standards / vocabs / ontologies by webmasters "in the wild" ||
 * Don't need to map whole world; can rely on external users to populate meaning || A little semantics goes a long way. || Push for formalism and consistency ||
