The Fate of the Semantic Web, by Janna Anderson, Lee Rainie, May 4, 2010
“Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, has worked along with many others in the internet community for more than a decade to achieve his next big dream: the semantic web. His vision is a web that allows software agents to carry out sophisticated tasks for users, making meaningful connections between bits of information so that computers can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web. Some 895 experts responded to the invitation of the Pew Research Centers Internet & American Life Project and Elon Universitys Imagining the Internet Center to predict the likely progress toward achieving the goals of the semantic web by the year 2020. Asked to think about the likelihood that Berners-Lee and his allies will realize their vision, often called Web 3.0, these technology experts and stakeholders were divided and often contentious.”
