The Semantic Web

Do you keep hearing about the Semantic Web and have no idea what it means?
It’s about information that people can understand and, more importantly, that computers
or programs can process, evaluate and understand. Patrick Thibodeau’s The Semantic Web in a Nutshell, on scienceworld.cz,
is a very good introduction and gives me a glimpse of the future. Let’s think about what that web will really look like and how far off it might be…

Martin Hassman of czilla.cz pointed me to a Mozilla extension. I’ll quote him directly
(please excuse the missing accents in the Czech).

By sheer chance, I’ve just read your post on the Semantic
Web at the same time as Neil’s post about his new
Mozilla extension, Topicalla,
which is “an client application for the Semantic Web”.

I’ll just add that Neil created XulPlanet,
so his extension may hold promise, although the project has just started
and is at a very early prerelease stage.
