The Semantic Web: Iterating Through 2020?
The latest Pew Internet and American Life report entitled “The Future of the Internet III” asked “Internet leaders, activists and analysts” a variety of questions. One finding that we in the Semantic technology world should pay attention to was “Network engineering research will build on the status quo—there isn’t likely to be a ‘next-gen’ Internet”.
The report notes:
Nearly four out of five respondents (78%) said they think the original Internet
architecture will still be in place in 2020 even as it is continually
being refined. They did not believe the current Internet will be
replaced by a completely new “next-generation” system between
now and 2020. Those who wrote extended elaborations to their
answers projected the expectation that IPv6 and the Semantic Web
will be vital elements in the continuing development of the Internet
over the next decade.
