What will be the next Web? A prediction

In answer to:

Fred: what was important in Gutenberg’s time… the printing press, or the books? I think trivially, it is not the object itself that matters, but what it will bring. I could be wrong, but I think that affordable infinite storage has little to do with the Semantic Web which itself has little to do with searching. Semantic Web is about AI applications, not Information Retrieval. If the Semantic Web was about searching, then Google and Yahoo Overture would be making use of Semantic Web ideas, but they don’t. There isn’t a single idea in the Semantic Web that can help me browse through 200 GB of images. There is research in this topic, but it isn’t part of the Semantic Web research. But fair is fair, I want people to disagree with me, otherwise, I might have stated the obvious…

It’s true that the revolution was the printing press, no doubts. But the interrogation I have is: what’s the utility of such spaces if we can’t use effectively what is contained in this space?

We need a way to search, to classify, and to have access to what we really need. We don’t want to spend 20 minutes for a simple search or 1 hour for a longer one. The most information we have, the longest the search will be and probably the less relevant the results will be.

Given this, what will be the revolution, the space or the infrastructure supporting it?

I can also be wrong; I only throw ideas as they come; I try to cope with your point of view.

For the semantic web point, can we agree that Semantic web is only a way to classify information? The name says it, to give semantic, meaning, to resources. The languages used have been developed to help machines to understand the meaning, the semantic, of these resources. This specific attribute, machine understandability, can, eventually, be used by some artificial intelligence programs as a knowledge database. No? Semantic Web theories can be helpful for AI applications, but, tell me if I’m wrong, but the first goal of SW was not to serve as a simple AI application but to give meaning to things, to help users in their day-to-day works.
