The idea of building a scalable centralized ontology for the Semantic Web

The idea of the Semantic Web arose about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, we still do not know how to realize it. In this place I will present my idea of its realization. The idea is to build a centralized ontology based on collective intelligence concept. Collective intelligence is characteristic for scientists’ community. I drew following principles from collective intelligence concept: building of ontology by whole community and reaching consensus. All elements of the ontology could be treated homogenously as pieces of information and consensus could be reached as a result of structuralized discussion. Any information could be stored in the ontology not only this that is stored in currently existing ontologies. Therefore suggested ontology can be considered as centralized version of the Semantic Web.
