And Google deals with nice referenceable web pages, not assertions about URIs that may refer to a web page, or they may refer to abstractions, or may refer to physical objects. :~) I'm not clear on what the role of RDF, ontologies, etc. would be in a Google-like semantic web, however. It would only deal with these relationships and inferences *statistically* whereas as I understand it RDF/OWL/etc. attempt to deal with them *logically*. Or to put it another way, in this view is the semantic web an ontology and trust building exercise, or a data mining exercise?
