		<description><![CDATA[So, the UK Government has made a firm commitment in its new &#8220;public data principles&#8221; to publish any &#8220;raw&#8221; dataset in linked data form in the smarter government white paper.  Quite what does this mean?
I tried to find a clear definition of &#8220;raw&#8221; data.  In almost all definitions you will find on the Internet, it [...]]]></description>

Not everyone likes what he says.  Douglas Hofstadter, who wrote the best book I&#8217;ve ever read, said of Kurzweil&#8217;s and Hans Moravec&#8217;s books:
