| I don't know ,, ... ( 8 months ago by ross350tube) |
| I don't know ,, give me an example of I can find anything i want to find now.. if i want to find a place,, I just type the name of the place in. person, same deal .. I want to know who came up with this. and why they need to change the way people do things because they think its easier . I want to ask them that person or community. |

| The key thing to ... ( 7 months ago by msporny) |
| The key thing to know about the semantic web and search technology is this: Right now, Google has to guess as to what the contents of the page are based on keywords in the page. With the semantic web, Google wouldn't have to guess about the contents of a page because the contents - the "things" - would be explicitly marked up. Google would know it is sending you to the right web page. In other words - search isn't very exact right now... the semantic web is making it MUCH more exact. |

| As for talking to the community that is working on RDFa, I'm currently an invited expert to the W3C, working on RDFa, and heavily involved in the Microformats community as well. So, ask away :) We're not trying to force you to change the way you have to use the web. We're adding semantic information to web pages so that computers will be able to better understand them. If they understand what is on a web page, they will be able to better help you interact with that web page. |
| Another place ... ( 7 months ago by hokiecsgrad) |
| Another place semantic markup comes in handy is accessibility. With the advent of "web 2.0", accessibility has taken a large step backwards. Semantic markup should help bring the web to more people and more devices that have a really hard time with it today. |
| The only issue ... ( 7 months ago by gabyu) |
| The only issue about semantic web is that their development is still reserved for geeks and people who learn the language. It's not in iWeb, nor in Frontpage or in Outlook... So how people could create such content? Maybe those technologies would need some support from software developers or online applications... and one standard. |
| The problem is that ... ( 6 months ago by faiko) |
| The problem is that semantic markup is a tedious task especially for non-expert users. We can foresee that Web 2.0 would accelerate the process of semantic markup. However, this won't be realized without a user-friendly framework for non-expert users. Moreover, ontological vocab is still an issue for semantic sharing/markup. I mean, who is responsible for hosting such ontology docs in the web? It would be a chaos if everyone uses their own 'semantics' for the markup. |

| I'm not trying to keep content creation in the hands of the experts, but, like with any system for doing anything, you need to learn how it works before you can really do anything effective in it. Sure, Adobe can add symantics support to Dreamweaver, but that will still require extra work for content creators to implement into their sites. It's a very difficult process to balance power with ease of use, and those who delve deeply into it will have that much more of an edge over everyone else. |

| let me direct you to one of the attempts to comprehend one of the problem you've mentioned, i.e. ontological vocab 'chaos': one possible solution is fuzzy ontology. |

| The function on youtube, that at the right, there will be listed videos that is similar to the video you watch now, is that a form of early semantic web? |
| Excellent Video. ... ( 3 months ago by angel2901) |
| Excellent Video. But I dont think semantic web will be a big thing/have a breaktrough. Correct me if I'm wrong but you only add new information to webpages etc. and the semantic technology behind that can connect the information together. But it still doesnt understand it, right? It like the chinese room. And I think an AI approach like Google is a better way and you dont have to add new information. |

| Very good exposition. Semantic web is the next logical step in evolution. It is the context of existence. Once you know of a thing, it naturally becomes important to its context. That is the first step to semantic web - putting things in contex. |

| I'm a PhD researcher and I found this video very useful not only for introducing Semantic Web to the general public but also to think about it in a more simple way! Thanks you are an excellent teacher! |

| wow seems realy interesting! i wonder if one day when this semantics science gets much deeper and mroe advanced, that out computers would get bored of doing stuff for us ^^ |
