Don Box 在他的Blog上预测了今年XML Query、语义Web及Web Services的形势。
XML Query, the Semantic Web, and WS-* will continue to hold promise.
This is the polite way of saying that none of the above will have an explosive burst of adoption in 2005. XML Query will be lucky to be in CR by the end of 2005 (it has a huge surface area). The semantic web and RDF still require way too much deep geekery to grok. The WS-* stack will stabilize in 2005, but without platform-level support (which won't really emerge until 2006), its scope is limited to early adopters.
语义Web老师一直在说，可我现在还不太知道它是干什么的。但像Don Box说的，这个东西还是很难grok。现在RDF都还没搞懂，以后的道路布满荆棘~~~
