there are also plenty of other cool *RDF* browsers, such as Longwell, mSpace, /facet, BrowseRDF, RDFgravity and IsaViz.

Therefore, it might make sense to differentiate between *RDF* browsers and *Semantic Web* browsers.

An RDF browser can be pluged on top of any local RDF store to display the content of the store (Longwell, mSpace, /facet, BrowseRDF, RDFgravity and IsaViz).

A Semantic Web browser doesn’t assume a local store but retrieves data from the Semantic Web by dereferencing URIs (Disco, ObjectViewer, OpenLink RDF Browser and Tabulator).

It think this separation would make the different use cases much clearer.

See you in Banff.

Cheers

Chris
