Agreed. But to do that requires explaining to people what it's for, and the potential benefits over vanilla JSON that make it worth the extra dev effort.
Reviving the Semantic Web vision - the *vision* not previous (failed) implementations - seem to me to be the most obvious way to do that.
But as always, I'm open to other suggestions : )

So what is the Semantic web actually, is the real question to ask. And what is semantic social networking if we apply it to that field. What does it bring in terms of value and benefits, new opportunities that didn't exist before. To LD proponents these may be very clear and obvious, but to many others hearing it is saying nothing to them. And also, when they are enticed to take a deeper look they find an every increasing amount of inter-related standards and skills to master around them. Aggregate linked data in data store, now what? How do I query it? Oh, XQuery you say, but I already do everything in SQL.
