The solution is to find out what the dream is known, to be able to ask the right questions and finally get the right answer at the right time, in the right place and right about now. This is the promise of the Semantic Web, which slowly and steadily becoming a reality :)
The Internet has greatly changed the way we live and work, such as the printing press used to be. As with any era of radical change and innovation usually lasts about thirty years for a new technology to be promoted and a lot longer for it to be imbued with the soul of man, but the Internet and World Wide Web is sitting on it, has now become not only part of the modern lexicon even begin to absorb the air we breathe.When Tim Berners-Lee launched the "Web" to the world he did so because of the opportunity provided by the internet.
He created the media and the environment in which people can publish, share and search for information on the speed almost instantly and with usability improvements in navigation. Web 1.0 is just the first step and, as a growing Web 2.0 real potential of the Internet began to emerge. However, for my own machine which includes the structured data web is both confusing and unclear. Machines and artificial intelligence have clear instructions on what to do and can not "conclude" that we as human beings. Thus their ability to attach meaning to contextualization and information as specified by the desire of human needs is limited. Enter the Semantic Web.Berners-Lee imagined that the web will evolve into what the document data to humans by a series of iterative tagging and guided by the agreed ontology. If you and I and a friend to speak three languages, we need eight different dictionaries to translate between, and even then nuances of everyday language may be lost. For man and machine is the same - we need an agreement and the definition of what we are talking about, and it needs to evolve with time.How real is the need?For many organizations the reality of the information and data systems is a frenzy of legacy systems are usually broken, unable to communicate with each other, and their design and management is often driven by political and cultural environment, the organization is not the purpose of strategic bigger picture. While the amount of data and information we have and produce an exponential increase our knowledge remain as usual - mostly in secret and in the head. Generation of knowledge management systems have been developed only adds to confusion and has sucked the resources of IT budgets in hopes of finding a "magic bullet".For many organizations, and especially for the government, the twin challenges of records management and the aging workforce (which means the retention of knowledge and management) are amongst the most pressing issues and, with a population increasingly expect access to information, the need for privacy and "right to know ", this raises a real dilemma. eGovernment - in various forms - dominate the political agenda and a lot of open systems and social networks become influential in the campaign and administration.
