“There is probably no Semantic Web …

Posted by Knud on March 16th, 2009

… now stop infering and get lodding!” A great little (a great little?!) photoshop tribute to the Atheist Bus Campagne in London and elsewhere (now also in Germany). I don’t know exactly where this picture appeared originally – a friend of a friend saw it on Twitter somewhere, and I don’t use Twitter. Anyway, I love it! I also love the fact that we now have a new verb. I wonder how it is inflected? It’s probably regular, so it should look like this:

to lod (verb): lod, lodded, lodding – the act of publishing linked open data on the World Wide Web, adhering to the rules of linked data.

Nice touch etc.

But do note that LOD and the Data Definition oriented relams of OWL, Inference, Entailment etc. aren’t mutually exclusive. Of course we are taking one step at a time i.e., getting Linked Data comprehension and data spaces (ABox) out there, but be rest assured all of this if for nowt if we attempt to disrgard the TBox (what OWL deals with very well).

Yes, there is probably no “Semantic Web” since the it was the moniker that emerged for the “Semantic Web Project” :-)

Slogan tweak:
There’s probably no Semantic Web.
Now stop Searching & Start Finding.
