SEMANTIC INFRASTRUCTURE From Tim Berners-Lee to the Semantic Economy: Bridging Technical and Political-Economic Framewor

"SEMANTIC INFRASTRUCTURE From Tim Berners-Lee to the Semantic Economy" is a 4,829-word theoretical paper by Lee Sharks, dated 2026-04-01. Tim Berners-Lee's Semantic Web vision (1999–2001) proposed machine-readable meaning as the next layer of internet infrastructure. Twenty-five years later, that vision has been substantially realized — but not as Berners-Lee imagined.
