It’s now only a few days until 2007, and a good time for the yearly prediction posts to start rolling out - including one from Mashable. To add a more interesting spin, we’ll throw in a mini-game of blog tag - a few people “tagged” at the end of t
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. Current faceted interfaces are ma
We need solutions that can help the many people whose terms and vocabulary are left out of the taxonomy... The simple idea that people’s actions model meaning better than a directory (even a flexible directory) is a critical step forward in thinking ab
Most of the tag clouds I have marked up have had over 10 variations in size or gradients of popularity/importance. This makes it virtually impossible to find standard elements to mark up these gradients and still give them meaning when styles are not a

Recent Developments on the Internet: The common characteristic, which all these systems share, is that the approach is "bottom-up" rather than "top-down". This means that in these environments content and structure are not determined by professional, corp

From legacy relational databases to the semantic web, the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (CATCM), where over 70 legacy relational databases are semantically interconnected by an ontology with over 70 classes and 800 properties, providing in

microformats are, just as importantly, defined by what they are not: not a new language; not infinitely extensible and open-ended; not an attempt to get everyone to change their behavior and rewrite their tools; not a whole new approach that throw
In this article, I will discuss how RSS 1.0 and its taxonomy module can be used as a central format to carry metadata collected in a classical news format, such as XMLNews-Story, to RDF or relational databases and XML Topic Maps. Readers should have basic

Web 2.0 as a concept many flaws in it, but one of these is not the “the dictatorship of the presentation layer” some claim it to be; a nice turn of phrase perhaps— but the whole fallacy starts when AJAX (one of the cornerstones of Web 2.0) is denigr
