Information Management: A Proposal (1989)

I had a good conversation with Tim at the 2016 decentralized web conference. I joked with him that I was one of the many people who had written two books on the semantic web.

Anyway, this article is about his original vision for the web, not the semantic web. When he talks now, I get the feeling that he is disappointed that the SW/linked data did not really take off. That said, from my perspective linked data, the use of standard Ontology’s, open knowledge graphs like DBPedia and Wikidata, and some hope for more integration into real AI systems (not just deep learning) is possible.
