I googled for the semantic web (on movies) and all I got was powerpoints

Bullocks!

I googled for movie ontologies and all I got was powerpoints.

In what world am I?

then I found this:

http://139.91.183.30:9090/RDF/VRP/Examples/moviedatabase.rdf# – hey, are you serious? an IP address as namespace?
and the IMDB mapping for RDF which luckily my office mate Gunnar Grimnes

please, God, put me into the parallel universe where people do indeed make the semantic web.

I expect that in a few years we don’t convince people, they will come to us to ask how to do it. Look at RSS, that was also RDF at the beginning. Also simple things like DOAP, FOAF, and GEO are taken up pretty good.

For example danbri’s GEO vocab was taken up by the GEORSS people, they just use the namespace. thats lowercase semantic web alive, sharing of namespaces to identify strings that mean the same.
