  Microformats: Toward a Semantic Web 

  http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3701096

  September 21, 2007 Microformats: Toward a Semantic Web By Sean Michael Kerner In the beginning of the Internet revolution, being connected was all about the simple hyperlink. Like magic with one click ... a Web browser could be transported anywhere on the Internet that content lives. But what about context? What about connecting related information and content in a semantic context? The hyperlink of the early era isn't enough. Enter Microformats , which offer the promise of helping Web content owners enable users to connect the disparate dots that connect content in a semantic way. To be more precise and borrowing from the official Microformats.org definition, "Microformats are small bits of HTML that represent things like people, events, tags, etc. in Web pages." Though the term "microformats" may not yet be mainstream, mainstream vendors have taken notice. Big names like Technorati, Mozilla, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Digg, and Yahoo among countless others are all at work trying to make   [More...] [Less...]

  Yahoo Embraces The Semantic Web - Expect The Internet To Organize Itself In A Hurry 

  http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/13/yahoo-embraces-the-semantic-web-expect-the-web-to-organize-itself-in-a-hurry/

  Yahoo’s embrace of all things open continues today - expect an announcement in an hour or so that they are expanding their Open Search Platform that we wrote about last month. In that previous announcement, ... Yahoo talked about their plans to allow third parties to alter and enhance search results with structured data that may be useful to users. Today, they’ll give more details on the developer platform and will announce support for a number of semantic web standards. What does all this mean? It means we can expect the web to get itself organized, in a hurry. At stake is a significant amount of traffic from Yahoo search, and anyone else that may choose to build applications on top of this data. Yahoo’s support for semantic web standards like RDF and microformats is exactly the incentive websites need to adopt them. Instead of semantic silos scattered across the Web (think Twine ), Yahoo will be pulling all the semantic information together when available, as a search engine should. Unti   [More...] [Less...]

  Wikis, the Semantic Web head to the streets | InfoWorld 

  http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/17/Wikis-Semantic-Web-head-to-streets_1.html

  Wikis, the Semantic Web head to the streets Wiki technology takes real-time, user-generated data from mobile phones to create maps for pedestrians and other travelers making their way across a city While ... drivers are accustomed to using traffic reports to assess road conditions, pedestrians who navigate cities are typically left without aid to determine the best route. But researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology using wikis and the Semantic Web look to change the way people map and navigate their cities. The Wiki City project, run by MIT's SENSEable City Laboratory , aims to apply wiki technology to the mapmaking process. The project's ultimate product will permit anyone to upload content to a map and utilize Semantic Web principles to cross search multiple layers of information. Wiki City Rome , an early incarnation of the project's user-generated maps, used GPS and cell phone data to produce a real-time map during an all-night festival held in the city on Sept. 8.

  New media, Anthony Lilley: Is web 3.0 a brand relaunch - just like Kylie's new look? | Media | MediaGuardian.co.uk 

  http://media.guardian.co.uk/mediaguardian/story/0,,2191061,00.html

  So, finally web 2.0 is dead. Its jargon half-life has expired and the buzzword du jour is being interred and superseded. And by what? Well, you'll never guess. Long live web 3.0. Honestly, give me strength. ... We'll look back in 20 years and wonder when we decided to hand over the English language to people who can haggle for hours about the difference between versions 2.1 and 2.5 of some software. So, web 2.0 is gone - or at the very least it's lying in state with phalanxes of futurologists shuffling past nodding knowingly and basking in their own prescience. These are the kind of people who say that online is where they "live". Confusing abstract ideas with reality like this worries me. I spend a lot of time clicking a mouse, but, I think, I still exist. I'd advise people who are concerned that they're merging with their iMac to read some Sartre before asserting that they've coined a whole new philosophy. And if, after all that, they really do think that reality is the same as ideas, th   [More...] [Less...]
