Acronym ======= I have come up with the following acronym: S.E.M.A.N.T.I.C. to describe what I see as the 8 big components of the Semantic Web. The URI is the value proposition because Universality leads to interop. Interop will provide huge value to both end users and businesses. A good company will be able to capture some of that value. In each case I've added an early adopter. The 8 Components of the SEMANTIC Web ===================================== Social - MySpace Entertainment - YouTube Markets - Ebay Access (inc. mobile access) - Microsoft Nearby Services (geo / local etc.) - data.gov.uk Trust - Verisign Information Management - Google Currencies - PayPal Interop ======= Two case studies to note cover more than one aspect, show the power of interop. - Facebook, a basic social solution with a basic trust system adds more value then each individually. - Zynga a basic social system with a basic entertainment system gets you from 0 to 5 billion in 3 years That's what you can do with some mild interop with 2-3 out of the 8 components. The Sem Web has the potential to give us 8/8 if we all work together to make great solutions in each field. The good news is that we're underway in each area. I think it has started to happen, 2011 I see the first demos springing up, and growing to a much more collaborative effort going forward. We need to specialize but also work together. In this way, the Web gets better, and everyone wins.
