Google+ entities and attributes

Thoughts on Google Plus: The Magic Isn’t Social, It’s Semantic by Christine Connors, Semanticweb.com (July 29, 2011)

Christine Connors said, that Google+ is “one of the subtlest and most user-friendly ontology development systems we’ve ever seen.”

This is why - "Why did I do so? Well, G+ follows some of the basic principles of linked data: it uses persistent HTTP URIs for people, Sparks (concepts) and posts. It allows you to indicate a relationship between to entities and give that relationship a type. It collects, and types, attributes about entities from the expected experts – the entities themselves."

The article is a real-life short course in entities and attributes.
