proof?
umm, I was assuming this was all a joke.
If you're serious, then that's sad. chill dude, we're all on the same side
(ps. you'd scarf burgers too, but they're all diseased)
Ok, back on topic... The scientists were obviously joking. I assume this was a warning about what technology hoarding 3rd world countries could do 20, 30, 50 years down the road. Sooo an asteroid tracking system would be a useful thing to think about. Could be useful for catching random asteroids floating by too. (And don't forget the threat of people bouncing lasers off of satellites... Another reality decades down the road)
The problem with search engines was addressed in the article. Read the section on Ontologies again.
The idea is the addition of meta-data (data about data). Say you have a web page devoted to your deli. Your page can import an ontology about businesses and say stuff about your deli an a way
that search agents can understand (as opposed to just guessing)
If you say, put up meta-data conatining the address of your place, the search agent can grab those directions, interact with an agent devoted to creating directions, then return directions to the pda of a person who is wandering around your town looking for a good deli
Jeez, you people really underestimate Microsoft around here. Keep in mind that MS is one of the leaders in XML tools. Many people are forced to use MS stuff for XML because they're one of the few to actually support the newer XML standards
(thank god for Xerces)
MS knows about the Semantic Web. And they are/will be involved
Cycorp is one of many players doing
neat things for the Semantic Web effort. I
think the point of the article was to give
the vision, not the details of the individual
researchers involved. You can get those at
by following the links at the bottom of the article

Ahh, that's why Germans have such small penises. You bastards infected their bloodlines!!

Actually basic XML is in the realm on syntax, not semantics. One of the big parts of the Semanitc Web is adding a layer of semanics on top of XML
