PR und Semantic Web

Vor einiger Zeit hat mich Marion Fugléwicz-Bren zum Thema PR und Semantic Web interviewt. Noch dazu auf Englisch. Das Ergebnis ist jetzt auf der Website der Semantic Web Company publiziert worden. Ich bin selber überrascht, dass ich so viel dazu zu sagen (oder schwadronieren) hatte. Aber gar so arg daneben kann es nicht gewesen sein. Immerhin attestiert mir Jana Herwig im Semantic Web Blog: “While Pirchner himself appeared pretty clued about the Semantic Web …”. Na, was werd’ ich widerspreche

The semantic web | Start making sense | Economist.com

The Economist recently published an article called The semantic web | Start making sense. SOME new ideas take wing spontaneously. Others struggle to be born. The “semantic web” is definitely in the latter category. But it may have found its midwife in Reuters, a business-information company. The semantic web (or “web 3.0”, as some people are trying to re-brand it), is the name given to the idea that the pages of the world wide web ought to carry more than just the meaning they are intended t

Where the Social Web Meets the Semantic Web

12:53 PM | Classification: Usability | Permalink From: InfoDesign: Understanding by Design Where the Social Web Meets the Semantic Web "The Semantic Web is an ecosystem of interaction among computer systems. The social web is an ecosystem of conversation among people. Both are enabled by conventions for layered services and data exchange. Both are driven by human-generated content and made scalable by machine-readable data. Yet there is a popular misconception that the two worlds are

Semantic Web Semantics: Arcane, but Important

A New Entrant into the Lion’s Den Exactly one month ago I wrote in The Shaky Semantics of the Semantic Web, “The time is now and sorely needed to get the issues of representation, resources and reference cleaned up once and for all.” The piece was prompted by growing rumblings on semantic Web mailing lists and elsewhere about semantic Web terminology, plus concerns that lack of clarity was opening the door for re-branding or appropriating the semantic Web ’space.’ I observed these issues

Google Application Engine vs Facebook f8.

A quick search around the web and you’d think Google’s Application Engine announcement was Google taking aim at Amazon’s Web Services. While there maybe some cross-over, for the most part I don’t believe Google is taking aim at Amazon, but Facebook’s f8. I’d also like to point out that amongst all the news everyone seemed to forget about Microsoft’s SSDS, while not an application engine yet is a large part of the offering. Also missing are the startups, e.g. Zoho creator. So, from the top… You

A timely reality check; see the full article for details The idea is that any website can send a jumble of text and code through Calais and receive back a list of “entities” that the system has extracted—mostly people, places and companies—and, even more importantly, their relationships. It will, for instance, be able recognise a pharmaceutical company's name and, on its own initiative, cross-reference that against data on clinical trials for new drugs that are held in government databases.

Social Graph applications: why not for every community website?

Social Graph applications: why not for every community website? April 6, 2008 - 11:50pm — bmann One of the outcomes from my trip to Victoria last week is some thinking about the social graph. More specifically, you may recall that I've been using Flock. As it turns out, I recently upgraded my laptop to Leopard, and made Flock my main browser. This has given me increased exposure to their "people bar" -- a side bar that supports a variety of big community websites, like Facebook, Flickr, Twitt
