I often wonder whether the semantic web is really Web 3.0. Shouldn't it be more like Web 2.5? (Or maybe we should drop the revision numbers altogether?) Seriously, I wonder if we shouldn't be thinking bigger. Adding "meaning" to web pages is important, but it seems like a smaller goal on the way to, I dunno, maybe the realization of The Metaverse (ala Stephenson). Or something big like that.
