As with any choice of technology, there are benefits and downsides to modeling data using Resource Description Framework (RDF), appropriate situations for linked data and use cases that would be fulfilled more effectively by other frameworks. This presentation focuses on the pitfalls to avoid and the challenges of using graphs that are swept under the rug by some RDF advocates, and contrast them with the benefits in order to facilitate informed decision.
