Sure it would be nice and/or interesting if the (S)Web turned into a huge pulsating hyperbrain, but let's get the basics done first. Sitemaps, privacy policies, simple Web data query languages, news feeds, quality ratings, subject-based Internet catalogues, digitally signed metadata... these are the things that "Semantic Web 1.0" will be built from. Crawl then walk then whatever comes next... Let's get the "simple" stuff done first. It's not as simple as it seems... Dan -- http://purl.org/net/danbri/
