How YOU Can Make the Web More Structured - ReadWriteWeb
-
Putting meta information into page headers is easy and should be a must-do thing for everyone.
Beyond that, providing information such as author, date, and location makes data that much more valuable.
And if blogging platforms could also standardize on the key elements of the pages, crawlers and
intelligent browsing tools could do a better job making sense of the content. Beyond that, microformats
are the front runner in annotating the web with meta information about things, but they still
need more pushing and effort.
[true knowledge]™ - technology
-
Very basically we have created a technology which can represent the world's knowledge in a form that is clear and accessible to humans, as well as being comprehensible to computers. This is different from the knowledge stored in websites and books, which is written in natural language that is good for humans, but incomprehensible to computers.
Retour sur Freebase à la lumière du Web of data | Les petites cases
-
Sur ce point, il n'est pas inintéressant de faire la comparaison avec Dbpedia. Ce dernier est construit, entre autres, à
partir des info-box de Wikipedia et de la catégorisation des articles. Si les données sont d'une très grande richesse, les
défauts/manques de structuration de Wikipedia dûs à la liberté totale de l'utilisateur apparaissent rapidement quand vous
commencez à faire des applications avec Dbpedia. -
Finalement, si je devais conclure, je dirais qu'aucun des deux modèles n'est parfait et que chacun présente ses avantages
et ses inconvénients. Les deux modèles doivent coexister. De plus, Freebase va s'enrichir et, avec Dbpedia, il est possible de remédier aux
problèmes de structuration de Wikipedia. J'emmétrais quand même une réserve à l'égard de Freebase, il serait quand même
bienvenu qu'ils changent leur architecture et qu'ils ouvrent vraiment leurs données pour les intégrer au Web of data. Je
pense même qu'il en va de la pérennité de leur service.
Data, web of data, hyperdata : vivent les données ! | Les petites cases
-
Il ne faut évidemment pas tomber dans l'extrémisme et oublier tous les apports que peuvent avoir certaines de ces technologies, mais il est aujourd'hui certain que le Web sémantique ne se créera pas à partir des fondations de l'intelligence artificielle mais plutôt du Web.

the second big trend then is to decouple the data from the application or the application services, so that in that sense what you can do is write your application or create services independent of the data sources they have to deal with
True Knowledge Launches Natural Language Search Engine
-
Like the much-anticipated Powerset
, the company aims to give appropriate answers to natural language queries, even if key query terms are not included in the data being indexed. Current search engines are unable to return appropriate results for these queries.At first glance True Knowledge and Powerset are competitors - but in fact they really aren’t. Powerset is both indexing the web and working to convert natural language queries into database-understandable queries. True Knowledge is only tackling half the problem - the conversion of queries. They are not indexing the web.
Instead, True Knowledge is grabbing data from structured databases, like, for example, the CIA Factbook. In many ways, they are more comparable with Freebase
, a startup focused on gathering all the structured data on the web.
Minding the Planet: The Semantic Web, Collective Intelligence and Hyperdata
-
The Semantic Web is principally about working with data in a new and hopefully better way, and making that data available on the Web if desired in an open fashion such that other applications can understand and reuse it more easily. We call this idea "The Data Web" -- the notion is that we are transforming the Web from a distributed file server into something that is more like a distributed database.
