Wikipedia Looks Ahead To Web 3.0

July 15, 2010

As far as Wikipedia’s Foundation is concerned, one of the cornerstones for moving the global resource to the next level and Web 3.0 will be making that data on the site’s 15 million articles decipherable to computers as well as the humans pushing their buttons.

Last month’s 2010 Semantic Technology conference in San Francisco saw developers showcasing how the needed semantic structure might be added to Wikipedia. It’s a big idea for a big database. Still there is a question as to the real value of the move.

The people attending the conference from Wikipedia were also actively recruiting help to make the base of the website more accessible to both computers and software.

One of the questions is how to determine the benefits when the service is implemented.
