Schema.org contains a list of item types to mark the content on pages. Some of the types are Persons, Books, Places, Music Bands, Events, Organizations, and so on. These item types are not solving problems for categorizing the real world content, they are just search-trends centric. Besides it’s their standard, it’s not open standard. How we can be sure that this initiative will be widespread and permanent?

I think Schema.org is not a big thing for Semantic Web, also these search engines indirectly agree that they couldn’t afford to understand content semantically. They need our help to improve their products. They stated that Schema.org’s data will facilitate for semantic applications, but how? Without a crawler how we can access to semantically coded content?

Their approach is based on their needs and lack of their algorithms. Webmasters have to code pages with Schema.org standards -also recoding existing pages- so this is too much work in order to solve their products’ issues.

Good try… It’s not Web 3.0, but Web 0.1 beta.

Ten years ago i made my first website and i’m sure that i was the only visitor, but i couldn’t sleep that night. I was too excited to have an online page on web. That night i realized, if you have something to express you can do it in web without borders.
It was the freedom of speech which impressed me.

Communication is never been such effective and important before. Web is the utopia where everyone can create, share and discuss.
Web Age is starting and everyday is a chance to say Hello world!

Turgut Yüksel’s personal web. Site contains artworks, included illustrations, animations and critical comics. His page on Radikal (Turkish Newspaper) titled “a Momentary Lapse of Reason”, named after Pink Floyd album. Pictogram, located on the left side of the page is moving downside like he is falling off building. Opening line from the movie La Haine inspired me to make this motion.

“Heard about the guy who fell off a skyscraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept saying to reassure himself: So far so good… (Jusqu’ici tout va bien)”
