Georgi Kobilarov, the CEO of a German, Linked Data startup called Uberblic, issued an open challenge on his blog, asking: if we had a Web of Data, what would you build?

Here’s Georgi idea:

Here’s my idea: If we had a Web of Data, I would built an application for painless travel planning. It would integrate flight plans, train timetables, bus routes, car rental offers, etc. And the user would be able to just say: I want to go from A to B: Find me the best/cheapest/fastest routes.

Mhh, wait a second: does it look like one of our Search Computing application scenario, isn’t it?

Commenters of Georgi’s blog proposed other several ideas, all of which resembled typical Search Computing case studies. We believe that Search Computing might help building the kind of applications envisioned by Georgi and his followers, bringing the level of abstractions required to develop any applications based on Linked Data.
