Web 3.0: the end of Google?
Abstract
The Semantic Web (or Web 3.0) promises to organize the world's information in a dramatically more logical way than Google can ever achieve with their current engine design. The Semantic Web requires the use of a declarative ontological language like OWL to produce domain-specific ontologies that machines can use to reason about information and make new conclusions, not simply match keywords. The emergence of a Wikipedia 3.0 that is built on the Semantic Web model will herald the end of Google as the Ultimate Answer Machine. It will be replaced with "WikiMind" which will not be a mere search engine like Google is but a true Global Brain: a powerful pan-domain inference engine, with a vast set of ontologies (a la Wikipedia 3.0) covering all domains of human knowledge, that can reason and deduce answers instead of just throwing raw information at you using the outdated concept of a search engine.
