Thanks, i tend to agree with you myself (the poster).

This is still a demonstrator.. the idea is show that this is possible and that putting markup on your pages is useful becouse eventually there will be sigma 2, 3 (or whoever else), the S/N ratio will increase and it will be possible to reuse it with one simple HTTP call to make any SAAS software (or any software really) do cool things automatically.

You're right, name disambiguation is not covered by this release.
The truth is that thanks to the semantic descriptions it will be more and more possible to do disambiguation is a smarter, more precise way e.g. using any other property you might put in any of your online presence files, e.g. homepages, work , interests etc.

it just takes work :-) a disambiguating sigma is expected by december.

Cheers.

p.s. we're not imposing any standard really.. Google and Yahoo ARE supporting RDF, RDFa and Microformats, and peopele ARE putting them on their pages. we only show how you can recombine them.

The folks at the DERI institute have just released Sig.ma, a visual browser and mashup generator that will go all over the web of data and find dozens of sources to combine together when answering a user query. It also comes in API mode to reuse the information Sig.ma finds inside applications. Here are a screencast and a blog post, with semantic-web-geek details."

This blog post explains why it is a little revolution in the way data out there is "condensed together": like HTML browsers will fix any broken page, Sigma will take data even if its "unperfect" and connect it together, the result much more data becomes available and publishing data in your pages becomes much more fun and realistically achievable. To show up your data in sigma all you have to do is mark up your page with microformats or RDFa."
