When language first developed in our species there were no endless debates about ontologies ... no people just started using words and they ~magically~ started meaning approximately the same thing to different people. Me thinks the semantic web will develope in just such a manner. All the semantic web needs to develop is some user friendly tools that allow people to do what they already want to do: 1) find things 2) publicize their own things that they want others to find. These are sufficiently compelling reasons for the sem web to develope ... all we need is the tools to make it so.

Here is a diagram you might find pertinant to this discussion Coherant experience on the semantic web, and why we need personal semantic memory.

PS: If anyone wants to help with the effort of creating these tools, please send me an email [e-mail]
