The result is millions of simple, interacting, Internet-scale knowledge systems, built through mass collaboration, to support how people actually work and live. These man-machine systems can utilize any Web resource. They stand in stark contrast to contemporary AI and Semantic Web applications, built by a hand full of researchers, using a tiny sub-Web of formally structured information.

I’m advocating a highly pragmatic approach. Start with the most basic functionality that does something useful. Get it out quickly so others can build on it. Automate complex tasks incrementally. And never let a lack of standards get in the way of connecting things.

The resulting systems are not incompatible with the Semantic Web. Feel free to use RDF if you like – it’s just another microformat, one particularly good for deeper reasoning. Indeed, microformats are a great way to bootstrap the Semantic Web and get traction on real problems that real people care about.
