The Year for Semantics? Finally?
January 25, 2011
Semantics are coming! Semantics are coming! Well, maybe. “Happy New Year: What’s Ahead for the Semantic Web “(Part 1) and (Part 2) is made up of more predictions for 2011, but this one reports the opinions of “industry names” about the near future of the semantic web.
My favorite quote,
“The business process model we build needs to be more closely aligned with what happens in the enterprise. I want us as a community to stop selling ‘semantics’ – the word and its variants are on all kinds of marketing materials these days! We should be selling our solutions to business and consumer needs, and just happen to be doing it with semantic tools.”
In both the posts, there is too much disparate stuff to summarize the whole thing briefly, but the two articles are divided into sections of Making Money, Fulfilling Enterprise Expectations, Customer Experiences, Where Search and Data are Going, Social Web, Government, and Challenges. Under Challenges, the author points out that 2010 for the semantic Web was like Waiting for Godot instead of the “killer year” that was hoped for. There is just as much optimism at the start of 2011. Maybe it’s the lure of the clean slate of the fresh new year, but 2011 seems again like it holds great promise for the semantic Web.
