The Semantic Web

Phew! This takes web searches to a new high. I looked at the site that Lea suggested and got flummoxed. It would be good if computers could understand the information they give us, but at some time we must think for ourselves and make the jumps to new ideas. Also the standards for data entry that will allow cross referencing of information raise difficulties as with the issue of human error. Reminds me of genealogical searches where misreading of names makes life difficult but interesting, and make me feel that my brain is stimulated to make its own connections.
