Overwhelmed

I'm still struggling a bit to complete the required readings and assignments (including posting here) whilst maintaining other responsibilities, but I'm plugging along. Since the last post, I've finished Tim Berners-Lee's lecture on the semantic web and spent a while pouring over the Wikipedia entry on the concept. I couldn't possibly say that I fully comprehend all of the particulars, but I believe I have a rough understanding of the philosophical framework and functional possibilities and I think it's very cool. I can only imagine the enormous analytical potential inherent in the immense quantity of information already available online if properly incorporated into the semantic web's URI-RDF system. I'd love to contribute, but I fear I've neither the brainpower or time to do so anytime in the near future. For now, I'll patiently look forward to benefiting from the dedicated work of the many many people, much more capable than myself, that are developing "Web 3.0".
