One single company could affect a global semantic web adoption within 6 months: Google. Once they decide to give webpages with semantic info a higher relevance, armies of SEO experts would swiftly generate vast amounts of semantic information...
- nandan 19y agoExcellent point. I guess the challenge is in first determining whether adopting the strategy to give pages with semantic info a higher rank, a good one. In other words, will this improve users' satisfaction with search? I suppose it could start out in Google Labs as an experiment. Although I m quite convinced of the power of the semantic web, I would think Google would tread carefully before changing what's working for them, now.
- mtraven 19y agoGoogle already recognizes embedded RDF metadata that describe Creative Commons licensing, and you can filter on these on their advanced search page. A long way from full semantic web adoption, but it's a toe in the water.
