Wired Co-Founder Sees Semantics in the Future Web Search
In a recent CNN interview, Wired magazine co-founder John Batelle was asked the question “What is the next big thing on the Web?” His answer is the Semantic Web.
The idea to create a semantic Web where everything is described not by one researcher and his team but rather by all of us as we root about the Web. The idea is that we might get to the point where everything in the world of value is in the index correctly, whether it’s your car, your child or whether it’s a media object like a page or an audio file or whatever, or in this case a picture. And then you create these vast semantic attachments to everything and that becomes the seedbed for the next generation of search to crawl and make sense of.
I believe Semantic Web technology is more than just a new search technology. It will change the way we store, discover, and share information — among the humans and the machines.
