Hello Didier,
I am witnessing the most serious adoption
of technologies that underpin semweb happening behind the corporate
firewall, though with surprisingly little orchestration with respect to future
deployment. Then snaking up supply-chains and corporate partners these
technologies tend to pose as integration and interoperability tools, as many of
the aforementioned technologies are dual use. Problem domain specific semweb applications which are conforming to ROI
are emerging in much smaller clumpings, in areas we all know about, like content
syndication and management etc etc
semweb, ( big s | little s ) both demand a lot
of technologies to go critical adoption before we start seeing the search engine
becoming a major pillar ( as in neat ftrain article ); a patchwork quilt of
corporate semwebs may aggregate over lines of commonality; with the resultant
stratification that (Bullard, Claude L
(Len)) was speaking of; possibly between a commercial grade internet versus a
watered down 'public' internet. When we
witnessed the web turn from 100% non-commercial to 90% commercial in less then a
coupla years I thought we had witnessed the days of altruism banished, but
I was wrong, it would take another 10 years for this to
happen.
As for search engines...has anyone mentioned www.xmltree.com which indirectly dealt with
RDF via rss.
to be direct, I think that semweb is becoming a
growing reality as a consequence of certain technologies being adopted; and as
we create more semweb-like apps, we will be less inclined to call them
that, and just settle for the name 'apps'. Admittedly there are vast swathe
of developers who are still tooling themselves up......sometimes i feel
like we are all Noah's, building our boats waiting for the meta data
seas......

ps: for those who cringed of my use of the
word ROI, pls review my BBQ Preposition for some light
relief
