Why "Oort"?

• The "Out of RDF Transmogrifier"
• The Oort Cloud is a fascinating, alien phenomenon in a region less travelled..
• Imagine all the BNodes in that cloud just waiting for an URI on the Web..
• .. is a Dutch surname, so the way may be obvious to Oort..

Symbology

The symbol of Oort is a representation of the head of a bumblebee. The reasons are manifold; these are the primary:

• Like RDF, the bumblebee may not seem lightweight enough to fly, but this has been proven wrong and uninformed.
• The Oort Cloud, being somewhat of a border to outer space, must surely be a habitat of Byakhees, who slightly resemble bumblebees. Or not.
