Poll: How Much Do Know About the Semantic Web?

Tom Dunlap
SemanticWeb.com Contributor

There’s a technology out there that, for the vast majority of you, is obscure. You’ve never heard of it, don’t want to. You’re still wrapping your brain around Web 2.0, or trying to figure out if Jon & Kate are really broken up.

But for many other tech heads, the terms “semantic web,” “Web 3.0,” or “linked data” elicits a strong reaction and passionate debate. There are scores of startups, technologies, standards, blogs, and some conferences dedicated to this world. WebMediaBrands (that’s my company, which we formerly called JupiterMedia), recently unveiled a revamped site to cover this world, SemanticWeb.com. I’m the managing editor of that site.

My question is this: I know this technology is still totally obscure for the vast majority. But how vast? Have YOU, gentle reader, ever heard of it? Or are you in it up to your elbows? Your poll answers will help me tailor our coverage. Click the
question to be taken to the poll.
