The future of the Semantic Web
The Pew Research Center recently published a report on a survey conducted (December, 2009 through January, 2010) among 859 IT/Internet experts on the shape of the Web in 2020.
The participants were asked 10 questions (tension pairs) regarding their opinion on the state and further development of the Web 3.0 as envisioned by Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
Critics argued that the meaning (semantics) of what we (humans) communicate cannot be easily interpreted (by machines) as we often express our thoughts in "illogical, playfully, misleading, false or nefarious". However, it is not as if we, humans, can always get the point correctly and without an effort, either!
I will try to summarize the report by gathering some of most interesting thoughts about the future of the Semantic Web.
Web 3.0: why, how, criticism, schism, and the future
During the WWW 2010 conference, which was held in April in Raleigh, NC, practitioners and researchers gathered to discuss current developments of the Web and its future. The WWW conference is the largest and the most important conference related to Web (Science). As the Web evolves towards Web 3.0, more and more topics are related to the Semantic Web.
Kate Ray took the opportunity of having so many experts in the field gathered in one place to record a very impressive video document on Web 3.0. Here is quick overview of of what can be learned from it.
