Edd Dumbill explores an XML and RDF application known as Friend-of-a-Friend (FOAF). FOAF allows the expression of personal information and relationships, and is a useful building block for creating information systems that support online communities. Code

Work on the Semantic Web is all to often phrased as a technological challenge: how to improve the precision of search engines, how to personalise web-sites, how to integrate weakly-structured data-sources, etc. This suggests that we will be able to realis

Abstract from downloadable PDF: Data on the Semantic Web is semi-structured and does not follow one fixed schema. Faceted browsing is a natural technique for navigating such data, partitioning the information space into orthogonal conceptual dimensions.

Downloadable articles and audio files from the 2006 Semantic Technology Conference held in San Jose, CA. Material is geared toward enterprise and business use of semantic web technologies, although not limited to that topic.

Not long after he invented and unleashed the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee realized that the limit to the effectiveness of the World Wide Web would be that while billions of documents could be linked and indexed, they relied on human interpretation to d

Listed below are some concept papers produced at the Institute (e.g.; Coming Collapse of Income Tax; Future of Libraries; Findability vs Spyability; Frictionless Vehicles & Binary Power; Fractal Transactions/New Money Era...

"Inflammation is a very effective mechanism for fighting off invaders," says Peter Libby, M.D., chief of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "But when the body is exposed to invaders for long periods of time, the defense mec

I've often joked that it is ironic that a term that contains the word "semantic" has such an ambiguous meaning for most people...This is a problem that people who are deeply immersed in the trenches of the Semantic Web -- they have not found...words to co

The Semantic Web is not just a single Web. There won't be one Semantic Web, there will be thousands or even millions of them, each in their own area. They will all be part of one Semantic Web in that they will use the same open-standard languages and thei

The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and its not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to

The Semantic Web is an evolving collection of knowledge, built to allow anyone on the Internet to add what they know and find answers to their questions. Information on the Semantic web, rather than being in natural language text, is maintained in a struc

SemWeb (SW) operates on the principle of shared data. When you define what a particular type of data is, you can link it to other bits of data and say "that's the same"...for example, "zip" in my SW system is the same as "zip" in my friends. Although it g

There has been a lot of hype about the Semantic Web, and this has not been a good thing. Spurious claims about what the Semantic Web might and might not be able to do have been choking public understanding of it, and adding to the confusion that many peop

Unfortunately, there is an air of academia and corporatate thinking lingering in the Semantic Web community, which has lead to the term "Pedantic Web" being coined, and a lot of mis/disinformation and unecessary hype being disseminated. Note that this ver
