The inventor of the Web rarely blogs. But when he does, his blog post packs a lot of insightful punch. Here’s what Sir Tim Berners-Lee said about the Giant Global Graph (aka Semantic Web):
"Letting your data connect to other people’s data is a bit about letting go in that sense. It is still not
about giving to people data which they don’t have a right to. It is
about letting it be connected to data from peer sites. It is about
letting it be joined to data from other applications.
"It is about getting excited about connections, rather than nervous."
Now, Berners-Lee may be talking about data here, but his attitude on "letting go" and being "excited about connections, rather than nervous" has that Zen quality to it.
