From summary

> Yahoo's Rob McCool argues that while the "Semantic Web is a compelling vision", (2005, p. 88), "[w]ithout radical simplification, the Semantic Web will continue to see limited participation and few compelling applications," (2006, p. 93). This is because Semantic Web formats (specifically RDF, RDF Schema, and Web Ontology Language (OWL) are too complex. He proposes a simplified approach where named-entity information would be embedded directly in web page HTML code. McCool's 'named-entity web' (NEW) would remove "barriers to adoption" (2006, p. 96). NEW does not demand the "consistency and formalism" Semantic Web ontologies, and McCool belives NEW would enable a simple yet useful "extension of the existing Web," (2006, p. 93).
