Instead we'll pour more semanticness into the existing web" –http://twitter.com/dmje/statuses/785062078, referring to Weaving a Web of Data (MW2008 workshop)http://twitter.com/dmje/statuses/785062078Weaving a Web of Data “The web has immense semantic value already. However, for a specific purpose the correlative semantic relations have to be extracted from the surrounding noise and to be expressed in a formal structure or model.” –http://museums.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Jpbowen#Se mantic_Web_and_Wikishttp://museums.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Jpbowen#Se mantic_Web_and_Wikis
