His remark on the Semantic Web has led to a number of replies, too, eg, from Jim Hendler, Danny Ayers, Shelley Powers, Kingsley Idehen, Henry Story, and others that I may forget (sorry to those). The incriminated sentence that people referred to is: â€sBut unlike the W3C approach to the semantic web, which starts with controlled ontologies, Metaweb adopts a folksonomy approach, in which people can add new categories (much like tags), in a messy sprawl of potentially overlapping assertions.â€t [...] […] There has been quite a number of blogs last week-end on Freebase and on Tim O’Reilly’s blog on it.

There is no direct link to Tim's Freebase post, but the view and criticism of the Semantic Web is similar.
