How do we capitalize on the new Semantic Web
Comments (1) In 2004, I was doing a research project with RMIT University on Semantic Web. The goal was for the query to ‘recognize’ who a person is and how s/he is connected to the world. One issue arose: no single source provides sufficient data of the level of connectedness we expected.
6 years later, the whole thing world has changed. One entity has accumulated more data than most others: Facebook.
We started talking about Web 3.0 backed by Semantic Web in 2005, and Social Graph in 2006. But until this point do we realize how the new web shall have to rely on a skeleton offered by a company and its alliance (Microsoft, Zynga).
I’ll think more of what new business models will emerge, the changing competitive landscape, disruptive innovation and most importantly, how do we capitalize on this.
