Edge 205: Metaweb & Freebase
In May, 2004, Edge published Danny Hillis's essay in which he proposed Aristotle: The Knowledge Web. "With the knowledge web," he wrote, "humanity's accumulated store of information will become more accessible, more manageable, and more useful. Anyone who wants to learn will be able to find the best and the most meaningful explanations of what they want to know. Anyone with something to teach will have a way to reach those who what to learn. Teachers will move beyond their present role as dispensers of information and become guides, mentors, facilitators, and authors. The knowledge web will make us all smarter. The knowledge web is an idea whose time has come."
Last week, Hillis announced a new company called Metaweb, and the free database, Freebase.com. The launch was covered by John Markoff in his New York Times article "Start-Up Aims for Database to Automate Web Searching" [3.9.07].
Below is an addendum to his essay he has written for Edge, a link to Markoff's article, as well as links to the original essay, [and] the subsequent Edge Reality Club discussion.

Smart Mobs:
"Sony Ericsson has filed a patent allowing for a mobile phone that can also operate your TV or Cable Box according to Technowiki.
Sony Ericsson's idea is even more ingenious, though, as they anticipate the remote control user interface being implemented as a 'skin', which can be downloaded onto the phone either from the device itself or from a website. In other words, the user interface you see on the phone can be changed according to the device you want to use simply by downloading a new interface either from the web, the phone network, or the device itself."
