Where the semantic web stumbled, linked data will succeed
In the same way that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman, Facebook’s OpenGraph Protocol is neither open nor a protocol. It is, however, an extremely straightforward and applicable standard for document metadata. From a strictly semantic viewpoint, OpenGraph is considered hardly worthy of comment: it is a frankenstandard, a mishmash of microformats and loosely-typed entities, lobbed casually into the semantic web world with hardly a backward glance. But this is not important. While OpenGraph avoids, or outright ignores, many of the problematic issues surrounding semantic annotation (see Alex Iskold’s excellent commentary on OpenGraph here on Radar), criticism focusing only on its technical purity is missing half of the equation. Facebook gets it right where other initiatives have failed. Such consumer causality is critical to the adoption of any semantic mark-up. Linked data intends to make the Web more interconnected and data-oriented. Related:

Open health data: Spurring better decisions and new businesses
As Network World reported this week, iPhone apps that could save your life have come to an App Store near you. “A growing number of developers are tapping into a treasure trove of U.S. government healthcare data and coming up with innovative iPhone apps that help consumers make better medical decisions,” wrote Carolyn Duffy Marsan. She was reporting on a trend that started at the National Institute of Medicine in May when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched its Community Health Data Initiative. Network World covered Medwatcher, Asthmapolis, and iTriage — the latter two also showed up here on Radar back in May. iTriage, a free app for iPhones, Android, Blackberry and other web-enabled devices, has enjoyed continued growth over the summer and fall, with nearly 1 million users to date, and a new iPad app. Peter Hudson, one of the physicians who founded Healthagen, the company that created iTriage, spoke with me at this week’s mHealth Summit.

Marissa Mayer On Charlie Rose: The Future Of Google, Future Of Search
Charlie Rose, who’s been focusing lately on Silicon Valley personalities, interviewed Google Vice President Marissa Mayer last night. In a long and broad ranging discussion, Marissa talks about the product development cycle at Google as well as the future of search and other key areas of technology. At one point in the interview Rose ask Mayer about Yahoo. Her diplomatic answer – an independent Yahoo is best for the web. Regarding search, she says its a big and growing problem. On social networking, she admits Google’s Orkut has largely fallen flat (other than in Brazil and India). And, oddly enough, she says that one of the goals behind developing Google’s Chrome browser is to “make the web as fast as turning the page in a magazine.” See Charlie’s recent interviews with the MySpace founders, Reid Hoffman, Larry Lessig and Marc Andreessen. Marissa Mayer: Thank you.
