Magpie - The Semantic Filter and Tool For the Semantic Web
http://kmi.open .ac.uk/projects/magpie/main.html

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.

Semantic Blogging: Spreading the Semantic Web Meme by Steve Cayzer
http://snipurl.com/66yj

Steve 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. This has been added to the Semantic Web Research section of the Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Securing Web services: Foundations and
specifications 09/02/2004 10:24 AM
Web services, by definition, are particularly vulnerable to breaches in security. The flow of potentially sensitive data not only between machines, but between enterprises and across untrusted networks, presents the need for special attention to areas such as message confidentiality, message integrity, authentication, and authorization. Additionally, since Web services are well suited to business-to-business communications and cooperation, there should be some way to enforce trust relationships between business partners. Finally, Web services are used not only by humans, but by other Web services as well. The high degree of automation required for interaction between Web services requires well-designed software architectures, preferably built upon well-designed standards.

I'm about to agree with BurningBird (which I'm always happy to do since she's right so damn often) but in a way that neither of us is going to find very satisfying. IMO, she's right to point out that something important has already begun: My idea of semantic web is if I can look for a poem that uses a metaphor of bird as freedom, and get back poems that have bird as metaphor for freedom. But you know, I don't have to go everywhere in the web to look for this — if I could just do this at...

At a session at foo camp, I went through the tentative chapter outlines of the book I'm plotting. My aim was to ruthlessly use the attendees, getting them to tell me where I'm going wrong and what I should be writing about. And it worked: They poked at the ideas and pointed me in many helpful directions. Thanks, y'all! And it just keeps going: I've been getting incredibly generous email with yet more information and ideas. For example, one came today from Angela Hey chockablock with examples. She writes about some initiatives that have struggled over how human-readable metadata should...

Semantic obsolescence

Semantic obsolescence 01/14/2003 12:26 PM
Find me another site that is as semantically rich (other than Joe 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. -- Mark Pilgrim

The Semantic Grid

The Semantic Grid
http://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 has been added to the Semantic Web Research section of Deep Web Research Subject Tracer Information Blog.

Semantic Indexing

Semantic Indexing
http://www.nitle.org/s emantic_search.php

Semantic 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 refer ences page.

A few days ago, I nearly hit a car that was making a left into the street because its turn signal simply was not visible from my direction. See the example below. So,...
