[...] This seems to be just another of those annoying facts of life. I should be used to it by now, after all “Akismet has protected your site from 2,607 spam comments already.” However it seems to me that the spammers could perhaps do a better job of targeting their work. Maybe this is a breakthrough area for text analytics. [...]

Oops :) I probably should have included a link to http://www.fco-im.nl (despite the .nl extension it’s in English) for clarity. Or use the complete title ‘Full Communication Oriented Information Modelling’ but that’s a bit on the large side :)

The big thing with the semantic web is something not many of the current people involved in Web 3.0 understand: that the first reallife application will be in business intelligence.

OWL describes relationships between objects. Hey, I think I’ve seen that one somewhere before… except now we have freeform relationships instead of the hardcoded ones in ER-diagrams. But restrict them a bit, say, with OWL-DL, and they are machine-parsable. Now add a sniff of FCO-IM (the followup to NIAM, Nijssen’s information modelling method) and suddenly we can go from a description of the business model straight down to a database diagram for the physical layer.

People work on this already, IBM Research China actually implemented half of this already in 2007.

The semantic web is both overhyped and underrated at the same time – a weird combination. But I am pretty sure we will be hearing a lot about it in the next few years.
