I just posted something along these lines in the cypberpunk tribe:

What I have been thinking about lately is the semantic web and how it will be visually expressed. For example, how can one visually / audibly compare two different medical insurance policies to find the optimal situation?

Most depictions of the network center on the viewer moving through the network to access information, or perhaps a Matrix-style metaphore interface.

Command shells, web pages, email, messaging, and games - the main interfaces to cyberspace - are utterly unlike the depictions in literature and on screen. I predict that the semantic web will, out of sheer necessity, bring us new kinds of data visualization, but it may look more like a geometric video game than a visceral AT&T commercial.

    I agree, not only that but smart filtering, sorting a better way to manipulate data- we each view and learn differently the print to web medium mindset does not work.

    I've been involved with some concepts, I need more knowledge.
