Shirky Trashes The Semantic Web
from the taking-a-step-back dept
In the last few months, I've seen more and more people start trashing the idea of the semantic web, which so many people have been fascinated with for so long. The latest is Clay Shirky who does a good job walking through some of the problems with the ideas behind the semantic web, and in doing so brings up some of the basic issues involved with meta-data. It's not that meta-data isn't useful, but that some folks who are so obsessed with meta-data sometimes miss out on the fact that meta-data doesn't solve everything.

Shirky
Shirky predicts Semantic Web Demise "So if you think Clay Shirky is saying that we do nothing, then you are wrong. He's just asks you to think out of the box, because the world around you isn't what you've been told. Clay Shirky gives you a pretty precise description of the lay of the land, its high time we accept reality."
