Challenging the Ideas Behind the Semantic Web

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the there-isn't-any-deception-on-the-internet dept.

mytrip writes to tell us that after a recent presentation to the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Tim Berners-Lee was challenged by fellow Google exec Peter Norvig citing some of the many problems behind the Semantic Web. From the article: "'What I get a lot is: "Why are you against the Semantic Web?" I am not against the Semantic Web. But from Google's point of view, there are a few things you need to overcome, incompetence being the first,' Norvig said. Norvig clarified that it was not Berners-Lee or his group that he was referring to as incompetent, but the general user."

    Because Norvig vs. Berners-Lee going 10 rounds in a cage is something I'd pay to see.
