W = H + A = C

I propose a WHAC model in this post.

Web's long vision is, possibly, machine-processible, such as Semantic Web. It can be possible when Web has a full capacity and capability to understand through a reasoning process. In other words, Web must be equipped with Web Intelligence (WI).

Researchers have been believing that Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables WI. However, the current web environment is far away from the fully-supported AI. But, it requires Human Intelligence (HI), in that people edit and upload data (text, picture, movie, etc) on web, and used by them. The machine, such as agent, currently supports them to process large-scale data (such as search or filtering).

As we have seen in Wikipedia, Blogs, Tags (Folksnomy), etc, Web makes it possible to gather individuals' knowledge, a.k.a., Collective Intelligence (CI).

In mathematically,
WI = HI + AI = CI
>> W = H + A = C (after removing the common I's)

Another intuition is W = H + A = C >> W = C >> WC (Wisdom of Crowds).

Proved.
