"Thanks for all the wonderful welcoming comments. We've had rather a lot, and had to turn the comments off on the first blog. I can't answer them all, but I would point out one thing. I just played my part. I built on the work of others -- the Internet, invented 20 years before the web, by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn and colleagues, for example, and hypertext, a word coined by Ted Nelson for an idea of links which was already implemented in many non-networked systems. I just put these technologies together. And then, it all took off because of this amazing community of enthusiasts, who have done such incredible things with the technology, and are still advancing it in so many ways."
Proof of the SemWeb focus of his DIG blog came just 2 days ago in his December 30, entry, which he devoted to the down-and-dirty question of how to home-bake a semantic web brower (he used not AJAX, he explained, but AJAR: Asynchronous Javascript and RDF). The result, a "toy" that he calls Tabulator "only runs on Firefox for no serious reason" but FFsecurity, Berners-Lee discovered, "does not allow a script from a given domain to access data from any other domain," which was giving him problems. Only if the scripts are signed, or made into an extension, does it work. He asked for assistance from anyone who happened to know how to resolve that particular problem. posted Sunday, 1-Jan-2006 Reader Feedback: Page 1 of 1
