content: Multiple Techniques and Data Structs can Make the Vision a Reality Linked data and subject and domain ontologies provide the organizing framework. Techniques for converting, tagging and authoring structure provide the content. In combination, we now have in hand the necessary pieces to enable all of us to "structure the World." In this vision, the nature of the links or connections between data need not be complicated to gain tremendous benefit. Similar to Metcalfe's Law for the increasing value of networks as more nodes (users) get added, adding connections to existing data is a powerful force multiplier. We can call this the Linked Data Law: the value of a linked data network is proportional to the square of the number of links between data objects [1]. Further, if we are purposeful to include connective links where appropriate as we add more data (that is, nodes), this multiplier effect becomes even stronger. Structured Dynamics is dedicated to help make this prospect real. Meaningful progress in doing so requires only a relatively few moving parts or techniques. Yet, because we sometimes bounce from talking or focusing on one part versus the others, we can lose context or sight of the overarching vision. The purpose of this article is to re-set and calibrate that overall vision. The Vision: Data Federation of Any Desired Content The vision is to get all data and information to interoperate, regardless of legacy or form. Much of this data is already structured, either from databases or simpler forms of data structs. Some of this information is unstructured or semi-structured, requiring extraction and tagging techniques. And new information is being constantly generated, which warrants better means to author and stage for interchange and interoperability. No matter the provenance, all information has context and scope. As a chunk from here, and a piece from there, gets added to our linked data mix, having means to characterize what that data is about and how it ca…
