Google may eventually be displaced as the pre-eminent brand on the internet by
a company that harnesses the power of next-generation web technology, the
inventor of the World Wide Web has said.

The search giant had developed an extremely effective way of searching for
pages on the internet, Tim Berners-Lee said, but that ability paled in
comparison to what could be achieved on the "web of the future",
which he said would allow any piece of information — such as a photo or a
bank statement — to be linked to any other.

the "current craze" for
social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace would eventually be
superseded by networks that connected all types of things — not just people
— thanks to a ground-breaking technology known as the "semantic
web".

The semantic web is the term used by the computer and internet industry to
describe the next phase of the web's development, and essentially involves
building web-based connectivity into any piece of data — not just a web page
— so that it can "communicate" with other information.

Whereas the existing web is a collection of pages with links between them that
Google and other search engines help the user to navigate, the "semantic
web" will enable direct connectivity between much more low-level pieces
of information — a written street address and a map, for instance — which in
turn will give rise to new services.

Using the semantic web, you can build applications that are much more
powerful than anything on the regular web

"It's about creating a seamless web of all the data in your life."

One example frequently given is of typing a street address which, if it had "semantic
data" built into it, would link directly to a map showing its location,
dispensing with the need to go to a site like Google `maps, type in the
address, get the link and paste it into a document or e-mail.

The challenge, experts say, is in finding a way to represent all data so that
when it is connected to the web, links to other relevant information can be
recognised and established — a bit like the process known as "tagging".

it would likely be a type of "mega-mash-up"

In the semantic web, it's like every piece of data is given a longitude
and latitute on a map, and anyone can 'mash' them together and use them for
different things.

Mr Berners-Lee, who is now a director of the Web Science Research Initiative,
a collaborative project between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and the University of Southampton, sought to put into context the rapid
growth of social networking sites in recent years, saying that once the
semantic web was rolled out they would be thought of as one of many types of
network available.

At the moment, people are very excited about all these connections being
made between people — for obvious reasons, because people are important —
but I think after a while people will realise that there are many other
things you can connect to via the web

He also spoke about what he described as one of the key challenges of the web
today — confronting the security risks associated with large databases of
information that were attractive to criminals and identity fraudsters.
