The Semantic Web Going Mainstream
Jamie found a story about a new web tool that is trying to break ground into the semantic web. It's called twine, and it supposedly will intelligently aggregate your data, be it youtube videos, emails, or whatever you accumulate in your travels. Not the first, not the last, but here's hoping something comes out of the ideas someday.
Sorry folks, but twine just isn't gonna cut it. We need something sturdier. Someone needs to start a similar project called 'ducttape'.
If a baby duck is a "duckling," why would anyone want to eat "dumplings?"
Okay, that is *not* fair. The Semantic Web would have untold benefits for humanity. For example: if you wanted to find out which Major League batter had the most RBIs in 1997, you would have to spend three -- perhaps four -- minutes learning how to use an internet search engine.
With the Berners-Lee Semantic Web(tm), however, you would just type in "which Major League batter had the most RBIs in 1997?"
(Of course, most search engines will already pick out the relevant terms even if you typed that question in, but that doens't count because they don't do it *intelligently*.)
Apology to Ubuntu forum.
The video is useless; the guy is doing a demo, but the video only shows the face of the speaker, not the demo.
let's do some semantic here: useless, demo, speaker. Anwser:
