The Semantic Web is Easy: Let Computers Do It

Ha.

Even if we could automagically classify, categorize and connect all the textual content on the web, what would we do with the 2 billion + photos on Flickr? Well, ALIPR (that’s Automatic Linguistic Indexing of Pictures in Real-time) is going to take care of all that tricky classification for us by using image recognition (and some other stuff) to automatically tag all of our photos.

It is not hard to guess how this works right now. But even if the software improves, good 202ers know that the problem is far from solved.
