Main Feature: Editable Search Engine Web 3.0
NY Times describes Metaweb as Database to automate web searches. Tim O'Reilly describes it as turning users loose on not just adding more data items but making connections between them by filling out meta tags that categorize or otherwise connect the data items, using a typology that can be extended by users, wiki-style. This is known as Editable Search Engine - Next Big Thing Web 3.0 - Open Wiki Style Semantic Search Engine.
Google, Yahoo and Microsoft search engines are Web 1.0 closed system and decorated with AJAX in Web 2.0. Search engine database edited and contributed by billion of users can make search engine more "human" and "intelligent" than the robot type search engines. How developers can tab into these "rich" and "intelligent" search results in your web applications and startups?
About Metaweb
On March 3, 2007 Metaweb publicly announced Freebase, described by the company as "an open shared database of the worlds knowledge," and "a massive, collaboratively-edited database of cross-linked data." It is currently accessible by invitation only and reported as being in the alpha stage of development. Much of the content of Freebase is user contributed, although it also contains data harvested or licensed by Metaweb from sources such as MusicBrainz and Wikipedia. [1] The contents of the database are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, and interfaces will be provided to programmers for developing applications that can utilize the data. With Freebase, according to founder Danny Hillis, Metaweb is "trying to create the world's database, with all of the world's information." In the future, the company hopes to generate business revenue by organizing proprietary data. [2]
Freebase's ontologies—structured data categories, known in Freebase as "types"—are themselves user-editable.[1] Users can experiment with their own types, which can become broadly adopted if accepted by the administrator of the information category or domain it applies to.
