Developing For The Semantic Web — Smashing Magazine

I love that the Semantic Web is still beating along, like the Little Engine that could. 🚂 While the massive closed social networks are a step backward in many ways, some of the global metadata that sites have adopted for them help the Semantic Web as well. Continued use of structured data in markup, speficially with microformats, seems like a very pragmatic and effective way for the semantic web to continue it’s slow, but perhaps unstoppable, march.
