Kevin Kelley on the Semantic Web
It’s been 6,527 days, or almost 18 years, since Tim Berners-Lee made the first Web page. Where are we headed in the next 6,500 days of the web?
Kevin Kelley of Wired Magazine lays out his vision for the future. Phase one of the Internet was sharing packets across computers. Phase two was linking pages and sharing links with others. What is the next phase? Kelley envisions a world where we link data, rather than computers or pages as in the past. Now we’re linking the information within the pages, a much finer resolution than in the past.
Welcome to the semantic web. We’re creating a world wide database. We’re unstructuring information down to its elemental units that machines can undertand, which then allows us to restructure information in an infinite number of ways.
