There has been a lot of research on ontology and the semantic web has been in the news for quiet a while now.Its the next big thing in the future, making the web as intelligent as possible. I have been doing some research on this and I am not very sure if thats going to be true. Atleast not for all the products. Global gaints like Microsoft, Google etc can achieve a great success on intelligent tooling.
There are few projects where I worked and we developed million dollar tools with all the intelligent functionalities but simply wouldn't be successful. We did a lot of brain storming and found out that the clients were not willing to use it.The reason was that they didnt want to make their resources feel bad. The client said to use to make suggestions, not to validate or say that the analysis or the data their resources had collected was not just correct. Another important reason why intelligent tooling will not work is that the users wont understand the tool at all and any failures they just blame it on the software. "The software is not correct" thats what they say. Its true that people dont like to be said that they are wrong that too by a software.
In my view a software success just doesn't depend on how intelligent you have made it but how much its accepted in the user community. Big software giants like Microsoft,Google can try these options but for companies which are not reputed will have tough time convincing their clients to try their software.
On the contrary intelligent tooling empowers software to be more powerful and cutting edge than it is now.
It will take still some time for the intelligent tools to come into lime light. As of now the developers have to be happy in building applications or products just to do some trivial tasks. Typically thats the mind set right now we have on softwares. It has to be still seen whether intelligent tooling will be success.As of now I leave it for the time to tell.
