That is because the starting basis of Wikipedia information has been built entirely from the bottom up -- namely, what is a deserving topic. This has served Wikipedia and the world extremely well, with now nearly 1.8 million articles online in English alone (versions exist for about 100 different languages) [6]. There is also a wealth of internal structure within Wikipedia’s “infobox” templates, structure that has been utilized by DBpedia (among others) to actually transform Wikipedia into an RDF database (as I described in an earlier article). As socially-driven and -evolving, I foresee Wikipedia to continue to be the substantive core at the center of a knowledge organizational framework for some time to come.

Offerings such as OpenLink’s with real and meaningful capabilities are being released; large structured datastores such as DBpedia and Freebase have just been announced; and the pundit community is just beginning to evangelize this new market and new phase for the Web. Though some prognosticators earlier pointed to 2007 as the breakthrough year for the semantic Web, I actually think that moment is now. (Did you blink?)
