the Cory Doctrow article on Semantic Web is better and more intersting reading.
"Metacrap: Putting the torch to seven straw-men of the meta-utopia" http://www.well.com/~doctorow/metacrap.htm Semantic web is a big project. And MIMOS going it 'on their own' (propritry vs open source) is doomed to irrelevance. I'm gonna be cynical here, but what has MIMOS achieved since its creation? It was set up (in late 80's) to do micro-electronics research, as Msia was then becoming a leader for the packaging of IC's as companies like Mototrola, Intel, AMD, TI, Harris setup shop here. Back in the late 80's/90's when I was doing contract work for a major semicon company, I asked their senior engineers what they thought of MIMOS, ".. bunch of jokers" was what I got. Since then, Taiwan and Korea has their own wafer foundries (yeah we have one in Sarawak, that does'nt count... but that's another story). But we were ahead of them then. To their credit, they introduced internet to M'sia, Jaring, but what else? I do remember they announcing doing research on 8-bit processors at a time when the rest of the world has moved onto 16, 32 bit. Then there's a few other things they tried to do, but.... what happened to Digicert, its a MIMOS Verisign look alike, spin-off, what's its uptake? Throw in the multi-lingual environ we have in Msia, how do you link mata-data then? Thats why we need the power of the 'commons'... So MIMOS can pull off Semantic Web & 3.0 on its own? I doubt it.
