I suppose if the question here is 'why don't these fields produce new discoveries at the same rate as the sciences' the answer is a pretty obvious, 'because they're not funded like the sciences.'
We could do a lot of archaeology with, say, a few billion dollars a year!

I've been looking at recommendations for the most interchangeable way to encode interoperability data from person datasets in TEI XML (which in some contexts is more useful and feasible than using RDF).
Starting with first couple lines of code in this thread.

Rather than "protect" free speech and open data rights of AI-scrapers, how about respecting rights of data owners, and differentiating rights based on intended uses?
