- 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You appear to be anti-semantic.
- JohnnySoftware, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kind of a vacuous article.
Swoogle is neat but hardly a killer-app or a real problem solver for the everyday man or woman.
Protege is of a lot more interest to software people, and possibly everyday computer users. You can create useful apps with it without any mental strain whatsoever. They should have mentioned it.
The quote, "you ain't seen nothing yet" is true - in the case of this article.
Check out Protege if you want some meat on the bones of the subject of that article.
http://protege.stanford.edu/
It is open source, free, portable, platform neutral, object-oriented, Java-based, user-friendly, standards-based, GUI-based application.
Someone can throw a working PIM together in Protege during their lunch hour - while eating their sandwhich and drinking a beverage. Not just the data model - but also the forms (data entry, searching, editing, deleting, etc.). Try doing that in that quickly and easily in C, C++, Java, Javascript, BASIC ,etc.
Swoogle is handy for _finding_ semantic web files with application metadata in them (.owl, etc.). Protege is useful for _creating applications_, and you can suck one of those right into it, and then even the tiny bit of work it normally makes you do practically evaporates.
All the talk these days about XML-based domain specific languages? They are already here. Check out OWL.
http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-features/
Protege takes it a step further: you do not even have to _look_ at OWL, let alone write anything in OWL. It handles all the "coding". You just basically author the application by describing the things you want the application to manage, by modeling their names/relationships/constraints in the real world - Protege handles making that "work" in the computer world.
You can introduce code into your application, or into Protege as a plugin for it, but it is not at all required. - GliTCH82, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You people are delusional, this is clearly a service pack.
- MikeSD34, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33.0 was too bloated so we took it's features and added them to 2.0 and came up with Web 5.0.
- GliTCH82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ugh, damn hot women gettin in between me and my dorkin out
/sarcasm - reboare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I am totally in support of a semantic web. I mean, they already run Hollywood, why not the web too? wokka wokka
- 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How can you make the search for pr0n any smarter than it already is?
- shashi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2chadu - you thought wrong. The Semantic web is likely to be more like Web 3.0 (at least 5 years away) or perhaps even longer. In fact, truth be told, Semantic web is orthogonal to the current web , since most of it data driven and will be in the background, so to speak.

I wonder why we haven't... - LaslarsFermion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1AI Is coming........
Giving information meaning, and creating a computer/network that can (at least appear to) think are convergent paths. - samsoffes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so i went swoogle.com thinking it might actually be a site... nope, its an erotic clothing site... ugh.
- redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sounds kind of like the situation in Deus Ex....
- auxide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its web 2.1 (beta)!!!!
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2sounds like posturing and marketing crap. did they call it Web 3.0, too?
- LaslarsFermion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think your identificationaly challenged (i made that word up......)
"I am totally in support of a semantic web. I mean, they already run Hollywood, why not the web too? wokka wokka"
Maybe you were referring to this "hillarious" comment. - chadu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1i thougth the "semantic web" had been rebranded as web2.0...
- redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Keep your semen out of my web, please.
