Bitworking - The Well-Formed Web
The “Well Formed Web” as a replacement for the Semantic Web. It’s a good idea, but I think the idea proposed is just a stopgap way to get to the Semantic Web - that is, you need some way to sort and structure information, and that way is going to look a lot like ontologies. But maybe what the whole RSS debacle, as well as this idea, are saying is that the Semantic Web, by being a grafting of classic AI technologies onto hard-to-fathom data structures expressed, primarily, in XML, is not going to get to prime time until it’s packaged and contextualized. Which is why I need to go to grad school right now, and someone needs to give me an assistantship, and I shouldn’t have to take the GREs and I should be visited by magic academic leprachauns who will make everything really easy for me. That aside, did you know that probity means uprightness? It’s one of the 10,000,000 words likely to occur on the GRE.
