Layer cake of semantic web and linked data

This is the traditional Semantic web Layer Cake.

This is what I made. Only HTTP URI is allowed as an Identifier, and XML is now just one candidate of serialization. Flowers above represent practical applications instead of knowledge sharing.

There is other proposals, too, of course.

I like the User Interface & Application Layer. That function is more diverse than just Trust.

I like thick bottom layer. That represents "XML is now just one candidate of serialization", too.
