Ask HN: Why is nonbody working on a distributed/crypto semantic web?
It would need to be fork-able.
It would need to be extendable.
It would need to be versioned.
The index would need to be distributed.
The extension and forks would be need to be open.
The query language would probably need to be open, version-able, fork-able, extendable.
- Lionga 9y agoBecause thats just a bunch of randomly cobbled together BS terms that dont help anyone. For 99% the web as it exist is way better.
- sharemywin 9y agoFacebook, Google have created schema(Open Data) for business(and others) to post public data. There are other org that have created it as well. But, it has a chicken and egg problem. Also, Google and Facebook control access to the schema(Graphs). I'm thinking business pay a flat fee per time period to be discover-able on this distributed network.
- sharemywin 9y agoFor a lot of use cases the web sucks. It co-mingles data with presentation. Google, facebook etc are paid a lot of money to turn unstructured data to structured data which can be discovered and searched. But, who would publish data only to a network that nobody uses because the network doesn't exist. classic chicken and egg problem. So, invest in a network not a company that will change terms on you once it becomes bigger and can afford more lawyers.
