Semantic Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Semantic Web is a project that intends to create a universal medium for information exchange by giving meaning (semantics), in a manner understandable by machines, to the content of documents on the Web. RDF Schema is a vocabulary for describing properties and classes of RDF resources, with a semantics for generalization-hierarchies of such properties and classes. A popular application of the Semantic Web is Friend of a Friend (or FoaF), which describes relationships among people and other agents in terms of RDF. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Semantic_Web   (1221 words)

Wiki Science:Semantic prosthetic - Wikibooks Wiki HTML pages can escape the limitations of narrow perspective imposed by a limited number (usually just one) of authors and also make it easier to keep pages up to date by sharing the work load involved in the update process. I suggest that a theoretical foundation for the science of wiki can be established by formalizing the idea of a semantic network. However, current wiki talk pages tend to be dominated by arguments between people who are already at point B. Actual users (those who are learning from the content of the page) need a simple and quick way to mark difficult locations in a page. en.wikibooks.org /wiki/Wiki_Science:Semantic_prosthetic   (1265 words)

Semantic MediaWiki - Meta This usually requires some form of "semantic annotation," but the special Wiki environment and the multitude of envisaged applications impose a number of additional requirements. The overall objective of the project is to develop a single solution for semantic annotation that fits the needs of most Wikimedia projects and still meets the Wiki-specific requirements of usability and performance. Semantic annotation in Wikis turns out to be a hot topic. meta.wikimedia.org /wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki   (693 words)

Citations - Platypus Wiki A wiki, a collaboratively edited website, allows a community open read and write access to a database of pages on a site, even if a user is not the originator of the material being edited. Wikis are suitable for exporting metadata in semi-structured format since the wiki pages are normally already stored in a database. The idea of extending semantic blogging ideas to other tools is one that has also occurred to us, and in fact we are using a simple semantic wiki in our department. platypuswiki.sourceforge.net /whatis/citations/index.html   (700 words)

SemperWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Semantic Wikis consist of pages that can be annotated with semantic information. Gratification means that every piece of semantic information that you enter is rewarded: you see instant changes in the intelligent navigation possibilities that are computed from this semantic information. For example, a Wiki with pages about various books could annotate these pages with little pieces of additional data, such as "this book was written by John Irving", or "This book was published in 1995". m3pe.org /semperwiki   (862 words)

SemanticWiki - ESW Wiki The namespace list is fixed for the wiki, but maybe that could be just the default, and per-page overrides could be allowed. I use a wiki as user interface to access complex RDF data. wiki permalinks and the wiki urls will definitely be used as rdf:about identifiers, they are correct uris and work fine. esw.w3.org /topic/SemanticWiki   (462 words)

InteropWiki: WikiHomePage The wiki and associated tools (including the Semantic Distance email list) are open to support the community-based effort toward methods and tools. The wiki is intended for use by trusted team and members of the community for collaborative documentation. Except, this time, the wiki is your napkin, and the people you are sharing your ideas with can be all around the world, sitting in front of their computing device connected to the Internet; and they don't even necessarily have to be there at the same time you are sketching. interop.cim3.net /cgi-bin/wiki.pl   (453 words)

Wiki semantic model - Piclab   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) This is a step that must be taken prior to determining how best to express that meaning in syntax, how to store and manipulate that information, and how to present it to users. An "article" is a collection of wiki pages representing revisions of an article on a single topic, and are associated with a title. SPAN elements serve to identify sections of inline content within a block for styles and metadata, and may be contained within any block-level element, and may contain any inline element or other spans. www.piclab.com /lee/index.php/Wiki_Semantic_Model   (835 words)

W3C Semantic Web The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data on the web defined and linked in a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes, but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications. The Semantic Web Coordination Group is tasked to provide a forum for managing the interrelationships and interdependencies among groups focusing on standards and technologies that relate to this goals of the Semantic Web Activity. The Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group is designed to improve collaboration, research and development, and innovation adoption in the health care and life science industries. www.w3.org /2001/sw   (2890 words)

Casual.info.in.a.bottle » Blog Archive » URI crisis and some good points of view… The Semantic Web needs another data model for the medium we intelligent human beeing are busy writing it with: text itself. RDF is not an appropriate data model for semantic applications and building one on top of it proved be impractical. So using this social implication of URIs, better tools and a clear way of producing RDF resources it’s the next step: and the comprehension that RDF is still usable alone in small world applications like Shelley Powers efforts show us.. www.dagoneye.it /blog/2005/11/23/uri-crisis-and-some-good-points-of-view   (1339 words)

Semantic World and Cyberspace Together they provide a semantic desktop architecture that is open, that is based on collaboration and web communication, distributed applications working hand in hand for a better user experience. Basically, a Semantic Bus is a system that connects several services running on one machine, database, gui, datasources and adapters, web-browser, applications are all conntected via this semantic bus and use snippets of RDF and some kind of REST-ful api to talk to each other. For the piggy-bank VS gnowsis question, the Semantic Bus is important for Storage and Adapters (Aperture), and I think we have to move to a more federated architecture here. leobard.twoday.net   (2840 words)

Semantic Planet ::   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) There are some (slightly out of date) design notes on the wiki which help describe the problem. This area is made difficult because the foaf:interest property is squatting on a broad area of semantics and is making it hard to introduce new terms. There are some further details (and a link to the stylesheet itself) on the Semantic Planet Wiki here. www.semanticplanet.com   (6219 words)

Korby Parnell's Gotdotnet Wunderkammer : The Semantic Bliki Steve thinks that a wiki might be a good place to store blog comments. Martin Fowler's weblog, wherein the creation of a CamelCased blog entry pushes the output to both a blog and a wiki is probably the most famous bliki. I think my biggest issue with Wiki, other than the fact that it feels so bandwagon-ish (I'm a blogger now, so I guess I shouldn't say that, since I've just hopped on one.), is that you can easily delete other people's content. blogs.msdn.com /korbyp/archive/2004/01/05/47737.aspx   (699 words)

Scott McMullan: ehick: model-based   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) The interesting twist is what Jean is calling a "semantic wiki," but with a different interpretation of Semantic from Platypus Wiki or discussions elsewhere. This is an interesting architecture that follows a more formal model-based approach to programming a wiki, which I talked about previously in my Big Red Button post. Definitely similar in spirit to what JotSpot, Twiki, and XWiki are doing RE: creating application platforms on a wiki base, but instead of user-friendly scripting or programming wiki objects, XML Schemas and XSLT drive the action. www.scottmcmullan.com /blog/modelbased   (1688 words)

w4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) This is the semantic web, and though TBL may want some other more complex data format, only readable by machines and, it seems controlled by big business, it is the users who are also the producers, just like HTML was so easy to read, and learn and rob. A machine-readable description of a person, plus a machine-readable version of that person's web space, is enough Semantic Web for us to do really great things, whether or not the hard KR stuff ever amounts to anything at all. To some extent, this is all just semantics - people who say "we need to protect fair use" often mean that we should move more fair uses into the category of free uses, perhaps by legislating clear, affirmative consumer rights. w4.evectors.it /itEntDirectory/topic?topic=semantic_web   (6986 words)

Developers Wiki - hCard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Plural components are made singular, and thus multiple nested elements are used to represent multiple text values that are comma-delimited. Use class names based on names from the original schema, unless the semantic XHTML building block precisely represents that part of the original schema. The basic format of hCard is to use vCard object/property names in lower-case for class names, and to map the nesting of vCard objects directly into nested XHTML elements. developers.technorati.com /wiki/hCard   (1452 words)

Semantic MediaWiki/Implementation - Meta By virtue of using an RDF triple store, such services can be provided independently from the main Wiki database: only the triple store is needed. Thus this information can be retrieved from the triple store as well (provided it has been appropriately stored there when parsing the attribute article) and no access to the Wiki database is needed. Finally, it allows users to write their own plugins for their own MediaWiki-based semantic wiki at home. meta.wikimedia.org /wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki/Implementation   (4562 words)

mnot’s Web log: Wiki as Semantic Web? I'm pretty much a complete tyro when it comes to Semantic Web stuff, so I don't know if any of these schemes lead you to a particularly triple-like view. The impression I've gotten in the past is that there is a reluctance among wiki-ists to apply too strict of a metadata or mapping scheme to their text (see the categorization discussion at C2 (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PleasePleaseDontCategorizeEveryPageOnWiki)), preferring human readability to machine readability. I'm hoping to have graphic Wiki visualization/editing implemented in Ideagraph in the next few weeks. www.mnot.net /blog/2003/04/28/wiki_as_semantic_web   (428 words)

Semantic World and Cyberspace: SemWeb Still, we don't use the Semantic Web in broad and I think one problem is, that we don't find the right uris to identify ideas/people/things - concepts from the real world. Alas, in most cases, they are that much interested in semantics, that they kill every first working idea at first sight... Yes, its 2005 and we have year ~five~ of Semantic Web and people are still too dumb to know what a URL is. Its a locator, and when you use http in your namespace, you have to put a document there. leobard.twoday.net /topics/SemWeb   (7273 words)

SemanticWeb - Raymond Yee's Wiki I've been wondering when there would be much thought given to the application of the semantic web to education. Semantic Web vision is the perhaps overly optimistic one. In my work at the K-12 level, where I don't have to worry so much about IMS, SCORM and other 800-pound gorilla standards, I've taken a turn into left field and just started sketching out an RDF schema for the standards and assessment data we use in our school. raymondyee.net /wiki/SemanticWeb   (372 words)

WSR 3 - WikiSym We are currently looking into way to integrate wikis and semantic wikis. As every wiki (ok, but most) render currently as HTML, it should be doable to use a cleaning tool to get XHTML out of it -- or let the wiki export XHTML in the first place.

Semantic Web Activity: Advanced Development Meeting preparation, meeting facilitation, and meeting recording present opportunities for capturing data for the Semantic Web that is useful to workflow analysis. The Zakim and RRSAgent teleconference irc agents are SWAD tools that give the teleconference audio system a presence in the meeting irc co-channel and record the progress of the meeting. Proofs that a meeting took place at which all prerequisites were met and a decision was taken, become messages that state, for example, that a document progressed from Working Draft to Last Call Working Draft. www.w3.org /2000/01/sw   (1180 words)
