oh man. there have been at least three efforts i'm aware of to standardize the metaverse in the last 30 years. none of them really went anywhere. fb was invited to participate in the last one i paid attention to (VWRAP), but they politely declined.

And now they'll take all the ideas from the previous efforts, pick the ones that will make them the most profit (revenue - development costs) and tada a new propriety, privately controlled ecosystem that slowly replaces whatever is out there. See, for example, Open Graph replacing Dublin Core.

How is Open Graph replacing Dublin Core? I'm not familiar with the space.

They're both specifications for adding structured metadata to the web. https://w3techs.com/technologies/comparison/da-dublincore,da...
