Semantic Web: The world government global database

Ken Craggs | 17.12.2009 15:24 | World

Through the use of semantic web technologies, world governments intend to turn the World Wide Web from a large hyperlinked book into a large interlinked global database. The global database will then be copied so that world governments can use their global database via an ‘Intranet’ and the public global database, with certain kinds of data filtered/deleted out, will be accessed via an ‘Internet.’

The world government would be able to use their global database via an 'Intranet'. If hackers using the public's global database on the 'Internet' tried to hack into the government's Intranet, the government could just close the public Internet down. Just think how difficult it would be for the public to order essential goods such as food imprted, then transported to supermarkets et cetera without being able to use the Internet. By closing down the internet when they deemed necessary, the World Government could try and force people to comply with their way of doing things, while they continued to communicate and gather information via their Intranet.

"A not too simplified view of the Semantic Web is to think of the Semantic Web to traditional databases like the Web was to hypertext systems."  http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Web

RDF is the language of the Semantic web. The idea is to get people to upload stuff onto the web in RDF instead of HTML etc, and to convert everything that's already on the web into RDF.  http://infomesh.net/2001/swintro/
At this point in time, much RDF and Semantic Web processing is done using a Python program called CWM or "Closed World Machine".

About the name cwm: According to W3C's website - "Originally, the name is from "Closed World Machine" because it processed information in a limited space, cwm does not make any assumptions about a closed world." - So they say!
