Web

Magpie uses ontology
infrastructure to semantically markup web documents on-the-fly. The
existing technologies in this problem domain tend to be rather
heavyweight, and often modify the appearance of the actual webpage.
Whilst these modifications may sometimes be acceptable, sometimes they
may be a cause of a serious annoyance on user's behalf. Often, the
existing technologies rely on one very specific ontology... To
alleviate some of these issues, they started work on the Magpie
technology that would be lightweight and provide sufficiently robust
and flexible features for semantically enriched browsing. Magpie tool
aims to identify and filter out the concepts-of-interest from any
webpage it is given. The current set of concepts can be influenced by
a selection of a particular ontology of concepts and relations. In
addition to identifying the concepts-of-interest that are relevant
from the perspective of a particular ontology, each such concept may
provide an applicable set of relations or commands that can be
executed. Such relationships are both, determined and evaluated
dynamically by querying the ontology server. Another feature they
believe improves the user's experience is the ability to turn the
semantic menus ON or OFF, to highlight all instances belonging to a
particular ontological class, to follow and semantically process the
links embedded in the document. This has been added to the Semantic

Semantic Blogging: Spreading the
Semantic Web Meme
Semantic Blogging: Spreading the
Semantic Web Meme
05/08/2004 06:20 AMSemantic Blogging: Spreading the Semantic Web Meme by Steve
Cayzerhttp://snipurl.com/66yjSteve is a research engineer at Hewlett-Packard's (HP) laboratories
in Bristol, England. He is interested in the intersection of semantic
web technologies and machine learning techniques, such as automated
classification and metadata enrichment. He also has a semantic blog.
This paper is about semantic blogging, an application of the semantic
web to blogging. The semantic web promises to make the web more useful
by endowing metadata with machine processable semantics. Blogging is a
lightweight web publishing paradigm which provides a very low barrier
to entry, useful syndication and aggregation behaviour, a simple to
understand structure and decentralized construction of a rich
information network. Semantic blogging builds upon the success and
clear network value of blogging by adding additional semantic
structure to items shared over the blog channels. In this way we add
significant value allowing view, navigation and query along semantic
rather than simply chronological or serendipitous connections. Our
vision is to use semantic web tools and ideas to help move blogging
beyond communal diary browsing to rich information sharing scenarios.
We have built a simple prototype as an illustration of this vision.

maximally-simple bullet-point form so anyone can understand it: Fast

that....

other point of view, saying that Amazon, eBay, Google, Yahoo, and
others are doing it the right way. "The stuff that works on the

back poems that have bird as metaphor for freedom. But you know, I

The Semantic Grid
The Semantic Grid
04/28/2004 05:53 AMThe Semantic Gridhttp://www.semanticgrid.org/e-Science
offers a promising vision of how computer and communication technology
can support and enhance the scientific process. It does this by
enabling scientists to generate, analyse, share and discuss their
insights, experiments and results in a more effective manner. The
underlying computer infrastructure that provides these facilities is
commonly referred to as the Grid. At this time, there are a number of
grid applications being developed and there is a whole raft of
computer technologies that provide fragments of the necessary
functionality. However there is currently a major gap between these
endeavours and the vision of e-Science in which there is a high degree
of easy-to-use and seamless automation and in which there are flexible
collaborations and computations on a global scale. Our vision of the
infrastructure that is needed to support the full richness of the
e-Science vision draws on research and development in both the Grid
and the
Semantic Web, and
adopts a service-oriented approach. We call it the Semantic Grid. This

09/17/2004 08:43 AMSemantic Indexinghttp://www.nitle.org/s
emantic_search.phpSemantic indexing is their name for
a family of techniques for searching and organizing large data
collections. The goal of semantic indexing is to find patterns in
unstructured data (documents without descriptors such as keywords or
special tags) and use those patterns to offer more effective search
and categorization services. Semantic indexing techniques are
language-agnostic, so data collections don't have to be in English, or
even in any human language at all. For example, they have had good
preliminary results in protein structure prediction using algorithms
adapted from a text search engine. Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI or
LSA, for latent semantic analysis) was originally described in a
1990
paper by Deerwester, Dumais, Furnas, Landauer, and Harshman, and
is a topic of active study. You can find links to journal articles and
other LSI websites on our

Clark, who is years ahead of me). Hell, find me another site that even
uses XHTML 1.1. (All right, a few blogs use it, but even the W3C home
page only uses XHTML 1.0.) I bought into every argument the W3C made
that keeping up with their standards, validating with their tools, and
using their semantic markup would somehow "future-proof" my site and
provide some mystical "forward compatibility". How about some fucking
payoff now? How about some fucking compatibility?
Standards are bullshit. XHTML is a crock. The W3C is irrelevant.

Other uses of semantic schemas
Other uses of semantic schemas
09/07/2002 07:49 AMThinking more about the semantic schemas I wrote about last night, I
realized that it has more uses. XLink for example has the same
problems as RDF. For XLinks to work, you have to add XLink specific
syntax to your document. This is far from ideal, which became
painfully clear when the first XHTML 2.0 draft was released without
XLink support. A semantic schema for XHTML 2.0 can declare that the
href attributes generate XLinks.
Another example. A month ago, when I tried to add support for XHTML
2.0 to the various browsers, I found out that there's no way to tell
the browser what the title of the document is. A semantic schema can
declare what the title of a document is. Google needs to know what the
title of an xml document is too.

Frank points to places where the careful construction of industry
metadata has resulted in integrated systems that work well. I don't
think Clay is arguing that all metadata is bad. Rather, he's saying
that it doesn't scale. Yes, the insurance industry might be able to
construct a taxonomy that works for it, but the Semantic Web goes
beyond the local. It talks about how local taxonomies can
automagically knit themselves together. The problem with the Semantic
Web is, from my point of view, that it can't scale because

messages. It would just happen. The voracious spider wouldn’t stop
there, though. The next piece of low-hanging fruit would be the Web
pages you visit. These too would be stored, indexed, and made
searchable. More ambitiously, the spider would record all your screen
activity along with the underlying event streams. ... Interesting
