# The media and the Semantic Web (short post)
I might consider doing a longer post later, but I wanted to highlight this to all my fellow SemWebbers.
The Semantic Web (and/or “Data Web” and/or “Web 3.0“) is seeing increasing coverage in the media (with varying amounts of accuracy):
- “Web 3.0 is all about Rank and Recommendation” by Jemima Kiss of the The Guardian (doesn’t mention the Semantic Web explicitly)
- “Google could be superseded, says web inventor” by Jonathan Richards of The Times (but calls TimBL a Mr… surely he is Sir TimBL!!!) (Quite a good article, but doesn’t capitalise Semantic Web) (Plus shame about the misinformed people commenting)
- “What is Web Science?” by Rory Cellan-Jones of the BBC (a nice article, and I think we can ask the question asked at the end)
So the time has definitely come to write some very clear and concise tutorials and articles targeted at people that only know what the document web is like, if at all!
Meanwhile Computer Weekly have only just started talking about “what constitutes Web 2.0” (11th February 2008). Come on Computer Weekly, catch up!
(p.s. To any media companies reading this: I am available for conversations about the Semantic Web, Linked Data and/or Web 3.0)
