Is the Semantic Web going mainstream?
http://mndoci.com/ blog/ 2008/ 03/ 13/ is-the-semantic-web-going-mainstream/
Yahoo's announcement that they are expanding their open search platform to include support for semantic web standards is big in many ways. For one, it brings the Semantic Web (and microformats) into the mainstream. Google might follow as well (which would really do the trick). Here is an interesting thought. Given that many life science resources are available in Semantic Web formats, does that mean that when Yahoo or Google index semantic content, that the relationships captured in Uniprot (for example) or maybe even Freebase, get indexed and available via search? How effectively will we be able to traverse graphs and relationships? Nova Spivack seems more than happy to open up the content of Twine into the Yahoo index.
