Abandon Babel, Welcome Society

In this most recent post at SemanticFocus, I present two philosophies about realizing Semantic Web. Whether we want to approach it by building a Tower of Babel, or we want to approach it by building a virtual society. From the pure academic point of view, "a web of data" is equivalent to "a web of agents." From the practical point of view, however, this philosophical difference may eventually lead to different fate of Semantic Web.
