The Internet is really the Wild, Wild West in an electronic format. But the Internet promised a world of amazing possibilities and the alluring promise, of uncapping vast storehouses. Of knowledge and furtherance of well being. Basically envisioned
by pioneers and perpetuated by very educated and technically competent individuals, groups and enterprises.
"Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on
earth." Will Rogers (November 4, 1879 - August 15, 1935).
Anyone who desires to establish a presence on the Internet. Is confronted with a myriad of possibilities, advice, HTML authoring platforms and what and how to present information. Authors defer to the easiest and quickest methods of delivery. Each have
their own ideas about what constitutes an accessible and inter-operable presence. Then one day a realization. What has been done, must in most cases be thrown out and redone. According to the latest and greatest of its day.
On the second go around. We attempt to leverage our presence on the Internet. So what is leverage?
- It is cross-indexing many disparate collections of data, all published and maintained separately across the Web, into what acts like a single, vast, well-organized database.
- It is important for authors and users of the Internet to recognize that social computing is evolving even as the Web 2.0 platform morphs into Web 3.0 and beyond.
- It is classification of documents and data according to a centrally-defined taxonomy, or schema. With modern semantic techniques, the discovery of implicit meanings and subject matter. The result is easier and more-productive sharing of information and knowledge.
- It is the judicious use of videos as a compelling part of any online Internet presence, and can be created for any budget. Just make sure to leverage your hard work by following a road map for maximum exposure.
- It is the grouping of page elements, and explanatory text-each dictated by Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which gives Web browsers precise instructions about how to display a page's content. In theory, then, semantically tagged Web content could help a
computer.
- It is creation of ontology-based metadata by semantic annotation. Which is achieved human readers have to understand the content of on a web page, software agents also must be able to interpret existing information.
