A Smarter Web

  • The Semantic Web will also be a richer, more customizable Web. Imagine running your cursor over the name of the hotel and being informed that 15 percent of the people who've voted on its quality say it's excellent. If you happen to know that the hotel is a dump, you can instruct your browser to assign those people a trust level of zero. (The polling information would be saved on a third-party "annotation server" that your Web browser accessed automatically.) By assigning high levels of trust to people who match your tastes and interests, and "bozo-filtering" the people who don't, the Web will start looking more like your Web.

Semantic Web: What Is The Killer App? - ReadWriteWeb

  • The Semantic Web has been in the making for some time and people think it is nearing maturity.
    We have written about this trend extensively, with our two most notable posts being an analysis of the challenges of the classic bottom-up approach and the promise of the new top-down one. Regardless of how the Semantic Web will come about, for it to flourish
    it needs to hit the mainstream. There is no way that consumers will appreciate the elegance and mathematical soundness of RDF and OWL. People don't care about math, they care about utility and even more, about fun. What the Semantic Web needs, then, is a killer app.

O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference - March 6-9, 2006 - San Diego, CA


  • Here, a keyword vocabulary evolves over time, reflecting the progress of current events within the context of the magazine’s editorial policy. Until now, the archive has been presented as browser-based hypertext, offering a serendipitous but ultimately somewhat linear experience of its contents. Can a visual tool be developed to understand a data set of such complexity through improved interaction?
    • Semantic web has great potential. - on 2006-03-17
    Add Sticky Note

  • This talk will examine the development of the Harper’s taxonomy, what lessons were learned from the creation of the visual browser, and how these lessons can be applied to other complex databases.

  • I’ve already received some emails from Kevin at
    el73.be
    who’s been working on another method which depends less on em widths. Wonder how he’s been coming along on this. Kevin?

Semantic Typography: Bridging the XHTML gap : Journal : Mark Boulton | Information design

  • My HTML/Web design ‘skills’ are not only self-taught but also until recently old
    skool until it hurt. Of course I appreciate the argument for semantic CSS etc
    but I think what has been difficult for me in seeing the light has been thinking
    in the correct manner. CSS/XHTML from a learning POV is awash with code-first
    type of teaching - this example is another “moment of clarity” for me on my
    journey to a better web.
  • The document conceptual structure is retained, we now have our XHTML structure
    (our semantic markup). Focussing then on the design we can make
    the typographic structure match the conceptual structure (still retaining our
    XHTML structure)

The future of the Web is Semantic

  • Explore the basics of Semantic Web technologies as Naveen Balani shows you how organizations can leverage ontology-based development. The Semantic Web can aid effective knowledge management and cost-effective product life cycle automation for faster development and integration processes.
  • The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. You can think of the Semantic Web as an efficient way to represent data on the World Wide Web, or as a database that is globally linked, in a man

Is Web 2.0 killing the Semantic Web?

  • Who cares
    what the back-end uses, or how it does it - just give "Power To The People", quickly and
    efficiently.
  • So whilst Web 2.0 is about high-level (user experience) and immediate benefits, the SW is a
    low-level (data), long-term solution. Users are seeing all this cool, flexible new
    Web 2.0 stuff, and it's making the SW look even more complex, rigid and unnecessary. Both
    technologies appear similar to the outside world - share and aggregate data - but
    Web 2.0 has a pretty interface, and is here and now. And thus the (finite) budgets of
    organisations are being spent on wikis and blogs, rather than RDF database converters.
