Week 10 - Muddiest Point

So now that I am passing familiar with HTML and XML, I question the possibility of ever achieving a Semantic Web. The time and effort that goes into breaking down a document into XML (for a couple paragraphs, let alone a serious research paper), seems positively prohibitive. And the fact that we even need a semantic web at all speaks to a computer's ability to automatically write the XML coding for us.... which brings me to my question: IS this a potential new career path for people, a new job market? Could people spend all day reading and coding what they read into parts of grammar and structured context?

Hi Maggie... Yeah i don't know why it keeps saying that. I know i was messing around with the options because i was trying to make my page private from those who are not on my list. Maybe i should go back into my profile and see whats up... i wouldn't want anyone to think they are going to see some kind of pornographic material. lol
