Title: So for
some semantic applications, knowledge bases will be advisory.
For example, having a database that can tell you which greeting in which
language is useful for a given time of day in a given locale given
a
particular class of hearer, while mundane, is extremely useful and
the
kind of thing a subject/object/predicate database does pretty
well.
Reasoning across dbs, well, that will be problematic. RDF isn't
as interesting as the schemas declared
with it and the logic for
using them. Inter-domain
reasoning, that is a big problem, so
I'd be leary of any predictions we will be
able to go away and
let it think for us any time soon.
I'll go on reading the pizza box
for the forseeable future, but use my
wireless connected to
the web when I need to remember how to say
good night
in India. A simple question, but
when all you get to carry
is a cell phone, a simple question is about the
limit.
Shubh ratri!
