So when does the semantic web take off? I can't be the only nerd waiting

Tip for best answer: M$0.50
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Semantic Web is taking off all around us. The Life and Health Sciences communities are already sharing research data. Twine is doing social networking the Semantic Web way. Google and Yahoo are both supporting Microformats and RDF. Tools vendors are emerging. Oracle, IBM and HP are all playing in this space too.

The trouble is that there's no "standard" for making the internet semantic. People have been trying with metatags, Microformats and the like, and they've been _slowly_ catching on. I have worked with microformats before, and they're a bit clunky at best. However, they _do_ work.

The trick is to ask when when companies and businesses take up the semantic web banner. Whenever there is a monetized incentive to change the way people do things, times will change!

If a business can get more traffic by making its catalogs semantic, other competitors will follow. That's the way that economics works.

Grassroots campaigns will also help, as crowd-sourcing search ideas like Amy Iris (link below) could drive users to work for more semantic-rich pages to assist in developing intelligent searching routines.

I hear you though. If we're going to see Web 3.0, we're going to have to get involved.
