Solving the chicken-and-egg problem

摘要

You could argue that the semantic web is a classic example of the chicken-and-egg problem. The only way to create a web that's intuitive for users and where the pages are comprehensible to computers, too, is for web pages to be tagged. But without tags on web pages, there is no incentive to build applications that can use them. And without the apps in place there is no reason to tag websites.
