Role of Taxonomies in Web 3.0

Interface: Where We're Headed with Web 3.0, by William Laurent, Information Management Magazine (Jul / Aug 2010)

This is a very rosy prediction about what Web 3.0 will enable in information handling and the role of taxonomies in making it possible.

"Web 3.0 will effectively categorize and present digital information to users in a visually improved manner that enhances interaction, analysis, intuition and search functions. The key driver in this scenario is the concept of taxonomies - standardized and self-describing classifications with codified semantics that are related to one another via highly normalized and descriptive metadata, not by a pastiche of static hyperlinks."
