Tim Berners-Lee Discusses the Future of the Web

maximus1 writes "In an interview with IT World, Tim Berners-Lee explains his vision of the Semantic Web. He says: 'The Semantic Web is going to take off particularly when we see people using it for data processing, when we see people using it in more and more things, adding personal data, adding files to government data.' His position on net neutrality: 'We've seen cable companies trying to prevent using the Internet for Internet phones. I am concerned about this, and am working, with many other committed people, to keep it from happening. I think it's very important to keep an open Internet for whoever you are. This is called Net neutrality. It's very important to preserve Net neutrality for the future.' And a fun tidbit — He mentions his 1989 memo to his boss at CERN that described his vision for the Web."

[jack455]

Mandriva Linux is putting together a preview image with the KDE4 Desktop. KDE4 will be released in October. We'll have this in the Dolphin file manager (probably Konqueror, too?) and KDE PIM software.


Mandriva's Announcement

Mandriva and the NEPOMUK Consortium are extending the scope of the project by bridging existing initiatives related to desktop metadata management to make semantic features interoperable between different technologies. Mandriva is also leading the implementation of similar features on top of the Eclipse RCP and the Mozilla XUL frameworks

Web as it is? Not so much...

I don't want to come off as a schvitz here, but why not a Semitic Web? Just replace all the www's with Melvin, or Max, so other Jewish name. Then replace all the .com's with .berg (or maybe .stein in a pinch). Presto! Instant Jeworld Wide Web! Sure it would get a bit megillah, but....meh.
