Shirky: The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview

Shirky: The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview

This is another article of Clay Shirky's. This one is a bit older, dating from 2003, but there are still interesting things to be found here.

My basic disagreement with Shirky in this article are twofold - first, I don't believe that Syllogisms are the only method that will make use of ontological information and tagging of data or services. Second, metadata does work, I've witnessed its valuable effects. I will admit, however, that for metadata to be useful it has to be accurate and honest.
