Web 3.0, the Semantic Web, and Webstruxure
There’s been a lot of buzz lately about the Semantic Web and Web 3.0 (which may or may not be the same thing). ReadWriteWeb has been leading the charge, and Hutch Carpenter provides an explanation of the Semantic Web that actually makes sense to me.
Webstruxure isn’t currently using the Resource Description Framework. Nevertheless, Canvas, one of the products we have under development, is very much in the Semantic Web space. As I described previously, Canvas takes content in HTML format and makes it dynamically reusable based on how it’s been tagged.
Webstruxure has been helping our clients take semi-structured data and make it available to their users in meaningful ways since 2002, as described on our About Us page. We don’t really mind whether our products and applications are identified with the Semantic Web, Web 3.0 or anything else. But if the web as whole is moving in the direction we’re going, then that’s all to the good.
