Semantic [sic] Web
by ghostofitpast May 24, 2006 10:41 AM PDT
Anyone who belives that the Semantic Web architecture will now enable machines "to read the contents of documents as readily as people can" either has an extremely impoverished model of how people read (which is frequently the case when technologists overlook the psychological and/or sociological implications of their inventions) or has decided that people will readily adapt to that more impoverished behavior model in the interest of making the architecture work and enjoying its benefits (also known as not worrying about changing the maze when you can change the rat)!

Congress Take Note.
by OneWithTech May 24, 2006 11:02 AM PDT
I want Congress on the Hill to take a special mental note to this article. Symantec has done what Microsoft and Google wouldn't even think about doing -- there trying to restructure the web to best suite it's entity -- Symantec!

The very Antivirus company that has failed in so many realms and has seen it's day in the hacker world; has now found it's way to create Symantec Coined machine readable language!

You's, one the Hill, do you now what this means? You should, because it lies in the Realms of Net Neutrality!

Don't get me wrong. I understand the need to continue to proceed in refining the web experience. But the web is Global, and to this point no one person or entity has coined the technologies that created it so boldly as Symantec.

So with that said: before you think about introducing yet another Net Neutrality Bill you need to consider EVERYTHING that goes into the WEB or World Wide Web as EVERYBODY knows it!

um, no.

No, I don't get your point. Semantics = The use of language in meaningful referents, both in word and sentence structures.
This has nothing WHATSOEVER to do with Symantec (you spelled the anti-virus company's name right), the anti-virus company.
And your link to net neutrality? Where did you pull that from? This announcement has as much to do with net neutrality as XML did when it was announced. It's just making incredible progress in how data is handled on the web.
