Geo
With the dominance of the cellphone, a new
metaphor is emerging for how we organize, find
and use information. New in one sense, that is.
It is also as ancient as humanity itself. That
metaphor is the map. As this metaphor takes
over, it will change the way we behave, the way
we think and the way we find our way around new
neighborhoods.

Metadata takes front stage becomes the powering
force behind semantics
Two approaches to Semantic Web
Top Down
Bottom Up
18
Top Down
Build search engines and technologies that can
understand what already exists on the web
(natural language)
More practical approach to but still very
challenging
19
Bottom Up
Build content around semantic technologies
Much harder to do
Better with smaller, very specialized databases
