Well done, Hrafn,
I am still a novice to Twine. But I noticed that without ever having started a twine, or commented on a twine, somehow my profile on twine was picked up by Google pretty quickly.
Implications for marketing are great. As I am at a beginning learning stage, thank you, Hrafn, for sharing your in depth understanding of this ingenious tool.

Glad my article helped, DF.

A question: does Twine have 1 unique RDF for every “thing”?
For example: 1 for the book “Jurassic Parl”, 1 for this blog post, 1 for the “HP Scanner Model 1″, etc?

Well, yes, it does have a unique ID for every ‘thing’, and everything is a thing that goes into it. However, like you note, there can be duplicates of the same ‘thing’. This is good in some cases, for example when the book Jurassic Park (and Twine knows it’s a ‘book’, and each associated property; ‘price’, ‘author’, etc.) is available in more than one store, in which case the ‘price’ may vary and the user would like to sort things accordingly.

But it isn’t so good for other things, like persons. We want a person to be a coherent thing. And this is a future issue that remains open. For now, at least we’re taking the step of giving data semantics and richer metadata. Later we’ll have to deal with issues like this one. (And by ‘we’ I mean the human race.)

I did some searches In Twine, and It seems what I mentioned does not happen.

For example, I seached for “Beatles” and got a lot of results (videos, photos, comments, etc). But I noticed there Is no such thing as a unique entity representing the band inside Twine. Or am I mistaken?

I’ve heard of Twine before, but only “got it” after reading your post.

I always hoped delicious could:
1) “Bookmark everything” (not only url’s)
2) Understand information semantically

Sounds like Twine Is exactly that (and much more)!

A question: does Twine have 1 unique RDF for every “thing”?
For example: 1 for the book “Jurassic Parl”, 1 for this blog post, 1 for the “HP Scanner Model 1″, etc?

I think this uniqueness Is essential t to make the whole system truly valuable, right?

PS: you got any invites to spare?
