Well... I suffered through the 80's Knowledge Representation fad, both academically in the AI program at Edinburgh and as a practitioner at the only company ever to produce a commercial system written in Prolog (that wasn't a Prolog development system.) So I'm familiar with the problems that the Semantic Web effort is attempting to address. Having slogged through real-life efforts to encode substantial amounts of knowledge, I find some of the misty-eyed musings that surround the Semantic Web effort depressing. That "most information on the Web is designed for human consumption" is seen as an obstacle surmountable via tools like RDF is especially sad. On the other hand, I'm always happy to make use of the cool tools that these sorts of things seem to throw off. There's probably a certain Proverbs 26:11 aspect to it as well. 1 0 0 plainlist 1 [[:RDF is not just for dreamers Comment 1]] RDF is not just for dreamers Comment 1# QUERYbfe84d10a823adbf2fe447eef5ef2c2b 0 1 plainlist 6 [[Category:Comment]] [[Number::+]] [[Comments::RDF is not just for dreamers]] [[Number::≤1]] RDF is not just for dreamers Comment 1# QUERYd89e7659f4be798571a17d0365fed4fd 0 1 plainlist 6 [[Category:Comment]] [[Number::+]] [[Comments::RDF is not just for dreamers]] [[Number::≥1]] RDF is not just for dreamers Comment 1# QUERYd54c0fa441a9a7f825ed4e595c42b7bc
