Tim Berners-Lee proposes to transform the World Wide Web into a “global graph”.

Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the Internet, again offers something revolutionary. After a year-long lull in Tim's blog, a new post appeared where the Briton writes about the concept of transforming the World Wide Web into a so-called global graph. In a few days, Tim's idea became so popular that a page in Wikipedia was already created for the new concept.

What is a global graph? Tim writes that nowadays almost every Internet user has accounts on different sites. Such accounts contain personal information, interests, friends, etc. One person may have dozens of accounts on different sites, but the World Wide Web is not able to recognize that, for example, Facebook and LiveJournal profiles belong to one person.

Berners-Lee proposes to translate all social sites on a single global engine that would allow Internet users to interact more effectively. Tim calls this concept the Giant Global Graph (GGG), similar to the World Wide Web (WWW). And although for the time being this is just an idea, perhaps the message of the Internet inventor in his blog will be the beginning of a new way of communication between people.
