Semantic Breakthrough

Raj on May 10th, 2006

Yesterday i am going throught the articel Semantic Breakthrough in magazing Oracle Magazine.

it says

By any measure, the World Wide Web is an immense success, helping everybody from preschoolers to CEOs share information, simplify research, and conduct business online. Still, many researchers aren’t happy with the state of Web technology. They think that something is missing: intelligence.

For example, to assemble information from several sites with today’s Web, you have to visit them individually and then cut and paste the content to create a cohesive presentation. This pastime has become routine for many; yet if you ask a computer to do the same thing, it wouldn’t know where to start. That’s because the Web’s HTML pages are designed for humans, not machines, to read.

I am not sure how far this will be a good to discover. If you see this issue in one angle its really useful. but if you see another side of the coin. this be a illegal to grab info easily “without any stress”. YES i agree there are some website grabbers to download the whole site. but this mails the people so easy to get valuable info’s very very easily.

One Response to “Semantic Breakthrough”

  1. well, I thought the focus of Semantic web is to get the information from the web “with minimum effort”… The site who provides the most useful information will surely catch the eye of reader(and is bookmarked).. I dont see any illegality in this..

    (I assume they also publish information with reference to the owner site.. even as a user of the semantic web, i would demand that..)
