Film on Web 3.0 Structure in the data stream

Back in the days when the Netzpiloten were still called Blogpiloten, I wrote a whole series of articles on the subject “Web 3.0/semantic web”, and so I am very pleased to show you a cool movie about it now: “Web 3.0” by Kate Ray, published under Creative Commons BY-SA. It uses beautiful images to show what will be the great task of the digital society: bringing structure to the data stream. Oh yes, and of course Kate Ray also interviewed some of the important web thought leaders, for example David Weinberger and Clay Shirky.

The film shows how relationships can become meaning – and how the computer might one day understand what people mean when they ask it for a “good restaurant, no further than 500 meters from here”. And it also questions whether it will ever understand that.

Nicely visualized detail: The poster advertising Internet access at a well-known fast food chain – and writing the word “Internet” many times larger than the fast food chain.
