The Semantic Web, is that the quintessential Web 3.0 or has that stage of the Web already passed?  We here internally have often debated it’s role, and how it will effect our Web experience, but regardless of your personal viewpoint, the embedded short documentary, by Kate Ray brings you to a level of thinking about the Web and content that I guarantee  you have never done before.  Those in this short documentary range from Clay Shirky to David Karger , all well suited orators on the topic.  They share thoughts like content is not necessarily the key anymore and the openness of the Web that will apply to all lives, regardless of the makeup and this extends past the basic selection of devices and offered applications we see today, because the Semantic Web will improve in making data understood by machines and computers alike.

Once you’ve seen this, you will have a greater understanding of why the Semantic Web is such a debated topic today.  I also hope that it will do to you as it did to me and spark new ideas that cause you to say “what if…”
