I see nothing in your proposal that addresses the fundamentals, in particular, that TLDs fragment the network, which is likely to impact the benefits of a uniform system; this approach to partitioning of the information space is likely to be ineffective/inefficient in the web environment. > How the SW would emerge if it emerges at all ? Your proposal to be more about creating a separate "sterile" sebweb in a predefined shape, rather than encouraging an environment which can support messy, organic, useful and *interesting* emergent systems. I personally believe it's only a matter of (not long) time before a semweb will emerge, how close it looks to the semweb of RDF & OWL will likely depend in part on how quickly folks get their demos online... Basically I reckon it'll be easier to solve the kind of problems you talk of by building on the working system we've already got rather than by trying to rebuild the architectural foundations. In case there's any doubt next time around, on your proposal I submit: -1 Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
