LinKBase: World's largest formal medical ontology, i.e. a conceptual computer-understandable representation of medicine. Due to its magnitude, formal structure and the fact that it is machine-readable, LinKBase is the only medical knowledge base capable o
As human language is a primary mode of knowledge transfer, a growing integration of language technology tools into semantic web applications is to be expected. Language technology tools will be essential in scaling up the semantic web by providing automat
This Special Issue of JIME will feature nine papers by invited, internationally renowned authors who have previously written about the effect of technology on education, learning and scholarship. Their interests and writing span distance education, higher
This paper describes Seeker, a platform for large-scale text analytics, and SemTag, an application written on the platform to perform automated semantic tagging of large corpora. We apply SemTag to a collection of approximately 264 million web pages, and
A great jump towards the advent of the Semantic Web will take place when a critical mass of web resources is available for use in a semantic way. This goal can be reached by the creation of semantic meta-data in the publication workflow, or by the develop
Ontologies play a prominent role on the Semantic Web. They make possible the widespread publication of machine understandable data, opening myriad opportunities for automated information processing. However, because of the Semantic Web's distributed natur
"Many people have told me this week that they think 'Web 2.0' has not been very impressive so far and that they really hope for a next-generation of the Web with some more significant innovation under the hood -- regardless of what it's called. A lot of p
This post is part contribution to the general Web 3.0 / Data-Web / Semantic Web discourse, and part experiment / demonstration of the Data Web. I came across a pretty deep comments trail about the aforementioned items on Fred Wilson's blog (aptly title
Very cool Semantic Web use case Demo via Piggy Bank's sever component called "Semantic Bank". These complimentary projects are part of the MIT SMILE project. As you can see Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web are mutually inclusive paradigms as reemphasized
Semantic Interoperability of Metadata and Information in unLike Environments. SIMILE is focused on developing robust, open source tools based on Semantic Web technologies that improve access, management and reuse among digital assets. SIMILE is a joint p
Clay also mentions that the Semantic Web has two goals: to get people to use meta-data and the other is to build a global ontology that pulls all this data together. He applauds the first while stating that the second is …audacious but doomed.
August 2009: How Google beat Amazon and Ebay to the Semantic Web By Paul Ford A work of fiction. A Semantic Web scenario. A short feature from a business magazine published in 2009. The Semweb was originally supposed to give the web the “smarts” i
The semantic web data model is very directly connected with the model of relational databases. The Semantic Web is not designed just as a new data model - it is specifically appropriate to the linking of data of many different models. One of the great thi
The Semantic Web is a web of data, in some ways like a global database. When looking at a possible formulation of a universal Web of semantic assertions, the principle of minimalist design requires that it be based on a common model of great generality.
Tim Berners-Lee, who conceived the Semantic Web and has championed the development of the standards and supporting materials (primers, test cases, references and overviews) that will make it possible, has found it necessary to proselytize on behalf of the
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
