Semantic FAIL!

Consider the following image I came across on Digg:

Semantic Fal

Cold War all over again?  Not really – it’s obvious what happened here.  But I think this is a great example of how the semantic web will wrap people, places, and things with context, and these types of issues will become a thing of the past!

Instead of “Georgia”, a semantic agent will see something like http://dbpedia.org/page/Georgia_(country) or http://dbpedia.org/page/Georgia_(U.S._state) and thus have an understanding of how to differentiate the two.

    You win 11, you some. So it goes. How’d you come about our site? Stumble? Endless internet quest for Tony Romo pictures?

    Cheers.
