Web 3.0 Smartups: Moving Beyond the Relational Database
Friday, September 17th, 2010<Smartups Series Part 3 of 5>
Today’s Web-based services are dealing with substantially higher volumes of data. But the challenges of data storage and management in the Social Web go beyond the issue of increasing data volume. In Web 3.0, data are significantly more complex and difficult to define ahead of time.
Unfortunately, many existing Web-2.0 startups continue to use only a RDBMS (relational database management system) model for meeting all their data storage and management needs—and some of these startups are starting to see the problems with that decision. Read more »

Web 3.0 Smartups: the Social Web and the Web of Data
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010<Smartups Series Part 2 of 5>
In the first installment of my Web 3.0 series, Powering Startups to Become Smartups, I presented a general overview of the Web’s evolving paradigm. I made the argument that today’s Web-based startups needed to step outside the current Web-2.0 box and think like a Web-3.0 company.

The Semantics of the Semantic Web: Don’t Confuse the Concept with the Movement
Thursday, September 9th, 2010This past week, another rash of the “Semantic Web is dead” cries have made their rounds at conferences (at least one) and across the Twittersphere. This is sensationalism at its best—and used quite effectively.
The truth is that the promise and accrued benefits of the Semantic Web are far from dead. Read more »
