Scalable Highly Expressive Reasoner

A technology that provides ontology analytics (OWL-DL without nominals) over highly expressive ontologies.

SimplePie IS:





• A code library, written in PHP, intended to make it ridiculously easy for people to manage RSS and Atom feeds.
  
  
• An easy to use API that handles all of the dirty work when it comes to fetching, caching, parsing, normalizing data structures between RSS and Atom formats, handling character encoding translation, and sanitizing the resulting data.
  
  
• Free (i.e. no cost) open-source software, with a license more liberal than the GPL (BSD-licensed), that was built and improved over the course of years by people who have a passion for good software that makes people's lives easier.
  
  
• Well documented with a complete API reference, tutorials and screencasts for popularly requested uses, and details about the inner workings of the library.
  
  
• Always looking for more people to contribute to the project in terms of code, patches, support, and evangelism.
  
  
• A solution where we've worked very hard to keep the bar as low as possible for people who want to use it, but at the same time you MUST have a fundamental grasp of the PHP language. If you don't know PHP, and are interested in getting a handle on the basics, we recommend PHP 101: PHP For the Absolute Beginner (begin with parts 1-3, then move onto parts 4-7 making sure you actually *understand* them).

Twemes.com
follows public
Twitter.com
tweets (messages) that have embedded tags that start with a # character.
These are sometimes called hashtags but we like to use the term twemes.

Through the use of twemes, we can all view what people are talking about
across the whole Twitter universe. In some sense, this can be thought of as
an adhoc chatroom. We also pull in recent public photos from
Flickr
and public bookmarks from
Del.icio.us.

Twemes.com is particularly useful for keeping up on the real-time
activities associated with a live event such as a conference. People who
attend an event can choose an obvious tag (i.e., sxsw for
South by Southwest)
and use this tag as
#sxsw
in tweets,
sxsw
in uploaded Flickr photos and Del.icio.us links.

Twemes.com also allows for adhoc polls to be created associated to a tweme.

Introduction to the Annotated XML Specification

The other window contains the XML specification; this window the commentary
on it.
The content and appearance of the XML spec are exactly as in the official

The commentary is contained in external XML files, with XML hyperlinks into

But now scientists have come up with a different kind of hearing aid. While the device, called the Lyric, is being used in only 500 patients, it appears to have overcome many of the problems associated with traditional hearing aids — without the expense and uncertainty of surgery and anesthesia.

The Lyric, made by InSound Medical of Newark, Calif., is hidden deep inside the ear canal, just four millimeters (about one-sixth of an inch) from the ear drum. While doctors for years have been implanting hearing devices in the middle ear, the Lyric is not an implant: it can be removed with a small magnet. It is worn 24 hours a day, and its batteries last one to four months.
