The semantic web is a decade old vision promoted by web visionaries like Sir Tim Berners Li in which the web will become a set of semantically interconnected "databases" for programs to interact with, mash together and in general make sense of it all. As a bottom up technological adoption approach, it has failed miserably, and outside some research labs none of its icon technologies (e.g. RDF/OWL) have gained much traction. In fact, the web has continued to evolve as a messy technological babel tower. We will advocate a new, top-down approach that transforms the existing web into a semantic web, where every site becomes a semantically aware API, using a combination of structure analysis algorithms and user generated effort.
