Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.

What we believe, endorse, agree with, and depend on is representable and, increasingly, represented on the Web. We all have to ensure that the society we build with the Web is the sort we intend.

What's very important from my point of view is that there is one web … Anyone that tries to chop it into two will find that their piece looks very boring.

I'm an optimist about humanity in general, I suppose.

The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

I'm not a fan of giving a website a simple number like an IQ rating because like people they can vary in all kinds of different ways. So I'd be interested in different organisations labelling websites in different ways.
