Wikipedia L'enciclopedia Libera


Wikipedia is a mind-bender when you are trying to discover something. I starting thinking about the kind of coding that would be necessary to match up private and public keywords, thinking something like Ajax might help speed up the phrase matching dynamically filling out your SERP as you search - sort of like an extended version of Google Suggest. Instead, because Ajax is so intertwined with a bunch of different technologies and protocols, I spent the evening browsing through all of the latest W3C recommendations and standards. What a trip!

All those standards on how documents and data should communicate with each other got me thinking. How cool would it be if you could opt into a tool where all of your keywords were collected into a single document and parsed into a markup language so that your identity on the web could be located via a URL. Your description would look like one of those photo montages where a thousand little pictures are arranged into a single recognizable image. This would be one approach to creating a semantic web because when people start networking with each other and with all of the rest of the documents on the web through the keywords that makeup each person's identity then everything we know and touch and feel becomes recognizable on the web. Would this shadowy world then become inhabitable? Would it resemble a puzzle in the shape of a globe? Maybe this is how the Architect created the Matrix...
