FWIW I didn't read it as mean and hostile. It's just the reality - semantic web is here for 20+ years with very little penetrating mainstream. And huge amounts of efforts spent on the technology, filling the databases and creating tooling. What do you think is needed so that people actually use it and it solves some problems for them?
- sloaken 6y agoI agree with you. Not that I have looked recently, what I see missing is a 'northwid' or 'contoso' database. As well as some MOOC with a gentle ramping up of skills. If you know of a good MOOC on RDF I would love to know about it.
- kstenerud 6y agoYes, much like AI was here for 40+ years with very little penetration into the mainstream. Technologies like this remain stagnant until the landscape is ready for them. In this case, the advent of AI and big data is what will make relationship data important. "Semantic web" as in human edited XML/HTML with semantic data embedded was never going to happen and was silly from the get-go. But RDF-style semantic data transferred between machines that infer meaning is an absolute certainty. It's one of those things that's forever a joke until suddenly it's not. There's a fortune of oil out there, but we have to get past the steam age first (and that'll come sooner than you think).
