A story about the Semantic Web Interviews with: Tim Berners-Lee Clay Shirky Chris Dixon David Weinberger Nova Spivack Jason Shellen Lee Feigenbaum John Hebeler Alon Halevy David Karger Abraham Bernstein
20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he`s building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.
Today’s conventional tagging mechanism, found on flickr, del.icio.us and youtube, allows users to associate web resources (i.e., documents, photos, videos and audios) with a set of keywords (i.e., tags). This mechanism works well for tagging resources that have a direct accessible URL. However, it falls short in being an effective tool for labeling the “deep” content of those resources — e.g., a partial clip from a youtube video.
