Maybe I should refine the statement: I think TMRM is useful and the
formal definition of TMRM is a big plus compared to TMDM but I haven't
seen that many practical examples of TMRM (if any) compared to TMDM.
So, TMRM gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling that it is useful but I
cannot define a legend practically and execute queries against it
(well I cannot execute queries against TMDM either since we don't have
TMQL). I can use TMDM/RDF/LOD to solve problems *now* but I cannot
start up my favourite TMRM engine and define a legend.

Now you can argue that I should work on a TMRM engine if I think TMRM
is useful instead of complaining and wasting my (and your) time with
writing more or less funny e-mails and probably you'd be right. ;)

Best regards,
Lars
