In many ways, people growing up with the Web and now the Semantic Web take the power at their fingertips for granted.

I think a lot of great software has been written by people who are scratching a short-term itch, something which has been niggling them for ages, but in the back of their mind they’ve got a wonderful long-term plan.

I'm very aware there are lots of other people who are just bright and working just as hard, with just the same dedication to make the world a good place.

If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.

The nice thing about programming at the RDF level is that you can just say, I'll ask for all the books. You can ask for all the shelves. You can ask for a given shelf whether a book was on it. And you're not worrying so much about the underlying syntax.

I think when you have a lot of jumbled up ideas they come together slowly over a period of several years.

When something is such a creative medium as the web, the limits to it are our imagination.
