Jon Udell predicts the bootstrapping process of the Semantic Web: It's easy to imagine an evaluation function that's sensitive to the sizes of the business entities, the durations of the partnerships, the job-posting patterns in various cities, and a million other things. Visualizing these dimensions would be a worthy challenge for a graph-based interface. Semantic web visionaries suppose that all this metadata will be encoded in standard ways, and will then unlock these powerful evaluation functions. I think it's going to happen the other way around. Web [APIs] will surface whatever meager bits of metadata already exist. Applications will combine these [APIs] to create novel effects. Then metadata will be incrementally improved in order to enhance the effects.
