    Aside from the Knowledge Graph buzzword, isn't this exactly the same idea as Tim Berners-Lee and the Semantic Web back in 2001? - web of resources, not pages - ontology-based schema - RDF based encoding - URI (IRI) resource identifiers - Automated agents and reasoning (DL) support

    Considering the ensuing reception and general avoidance of the semantic web outside academic papers, I guess no one wants to talk about it.

      And there are related standards like HATEOAS for state full behaviour right?

      But this isn't about a new way of presenting information to rival sparql or something.

      This is a technical report about a guy who wrote a slightly advanced crawler bot that discovers the behaviour of a modern Web application and can maybe be used to generate automated tests.

      It has a lot in common with that post about a new yc company using llms to generate integrations for existing undocumented Web applications.

    Isn't this just going back to the 90s web? Before all the javascript and interactivity craziness was used. We can argue all day about how bad js is from a development perspective but I definitely like the interactivity it's brought to the web.

    This begs for the reverse-turning state graphs back into UI.
