Nothing makes me happier than seeing the semantic web hit the front page. Too bad most people don't understand it.

- mindcrime 9y agoSame here. Honestly though, I'm surprised. I submitted this even though it's kinda old, because I was reading up on federated SPARQL queries, and had a random thought that somebody might find it interesting. I didn't actually expect any significant number of upvotes, or for this to make the front-page. My feeling is, the Semantic Web vision is still growing and still permeating it's way through things. I think it's taken longer than probably anybody expected, but it's an ambitious-as-fuck-all idea too, so that should hardly be surprising. The thing is, in this fad-driven industry, once something slips off the hype wagon, and isn't "cool" or "sexy" anymore, it's something of a struggle to get people interested. Everybody is all "ooooooh, shiny!" and off to chase the javascript framework du jour.
- phlakaton 9y agoCount me as one of them, though I'm more conversant about it than some. Let me ask then: what would you have people understand?
