"To my mind, the top down perfect linked data solution and the bottom up re-use of data to build things greater than the sum of their parts will happily co-exist, in the same way that a service like Flickr uses industry standard EXIF data and human-supplied 'folksonomy' metadata and geodata to compile meaningful data about a photo. One is a standard, and the other is subject to uncontrolled synonyms, abbreviations, colloquialisms and misspellings. But together they work."
