Yorick Wilks' slides about Semantic web presented at the Philosophy of the Web seminar in Sorbonne.
Dutch internet strategy adviser Freek Bijl explains Web 3.0 using simple analogies. This is Part II which goes into the technical details.
From The Article: "Web 2.0 was an outstanding concept and it can be harder to manage another version that upstages it but that is exactly what Web 3.0 is going to do. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the concept of Web 3.0. Web 2.0 had great impact on users just as it was designed to do. Web 3.0, however, goes further with its focus on taking data to the user, instead of making him or her simply visit a tired old website. It really is a case of Web 2.0 being history".

The Silk project lets you build your own Web site and view those of others using information linked together from different sources. In one sense, a Silk site is similar to a Wiki in that it unites information from different sources and can grow through the combined efforts of several creators and contributors.

What is the tagline for this generation, this particular time in history? While we can't answer for politics (who can?), we can clue you in to some of the taglines marking the digital age: Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0.

This lesson on Semantic University describes how NLP technologies are very complementary to Semantic Web technologies.
Natural language processing (NLP) and Semantic Web technologies are both Semantic Technologies, but with different and complementary roles in data management.
In fact, the combination of NLP and Semantic Web technologies enables enterprises to combine structured and unstructured data in ways that are simply not practical using traditional tools.

Educational site designed to be the most accessible and most complete place to learn about the Semantic Web Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 27, 2012 Cambridge Semantics has announced the launch of Semantic University which aims to be the most accessible and complete place to learn about the Semantic Web and other semantic technologies.
Semantic technologies are already having a huge impact on the web-especially with the advent of Schema.org and the Facebook Open Graph-and are moving rapidly into the Fortune 500, with companies as diverse as Merck, Chevron, and the US Air Force taking advantage of them.
However, there is very little well-curated material that helps those new to the space find their bearings and get started.
Semantic University aims to solve this problem and, in doing so, increase the adoption rate of Semantic Web technologies.

"When somebody asks me What is the Semantic Web? I immediately ask them: What is the Web?”.
Stop for a minute and think about it. You use the Web every single day of your life, but are you able to explain what it actually is?
And by the way, the Web is not the Internet! It is a layer on top of the Internet.

Will Social Search - Web 3.0 - take hold and redefine the nature of marketing, ecommerce and the digital customer experience?
The competition for influence is fierce. Facebook, with approximately 800 million users, is leading the way. As early as October 2009, Microsoft’s Bing partnered with Twitter and Facebook to add real-time updates from users to its search results.
Shortly thereafter, Google’s June 2011 launch of Google+ (G+) continued the trend by populating the results of its users’ searches with more personally relevant information.
Google uses stored data from Google Documents, geo-location tags from Picasa (a photo sharing platform), playlists from Google Music and even contacts and calendar information from Gmail to offer tailor-made search engine results.
The implications of Web 3.0 are profound.
The customer experience will play a greater role than ever before in terms of marketing.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) will fall by the wayside as it becomes more important for real people to write raving reviews for their social networks or a community of custom fan page members.

“Web 3.0": for those of you who might have been sleeping during your Internet History classes, this third generation of the Web is one which expands upon the linkages, accessibility and collaboration enabled by Web 2.0 technologies such as social media and content-management systems.
Web 3.0 extends the idea of a more open internet by seeking to fundamentally change the way the internet is coded and data is represented.
The idea is that if its possible to standardize the way content is organized on the web into a family of categories, then those categories themselves will have basic meaning to other sites and applications that might be accessing that data.

First released in 2009, Wolfram Alpha presents a different way of interacting with knowledge and data than anything else out there on the web.
Built on the foundation of Wolfram's Mathematica product, Wolfram Alpha is a "knowledge engine" instead of the "search engine" that we've all become familiar with.
What that means is that Wolfram Alpha is more structured in the query field you use to access it, the data it uses as a source, and the results that it gives you.
The Semantic Web allows us to invest our brain power on responsibilities and tasks that require alert human cognition - and gives the tedious line checking and data grabbing to a machine who doesn't talk back, get grumpy or demand coffee.
That's why 2012 will be the year of the Semantic Web.
Here are three use cases from 2011 that illustrate the growing impact of semantic technology in commerce and culture today, and why society is migrating toward a data-driven world.
1. Telecommunications -- The Siri Use Case
2. Enterprises -- The Best Buy Use Case
3. Museum Informatics -- The Annapolis Historic Foundation Use Case |
The upgrade to Google's core search product is intended to make results more relevant, by trying to understand the context of the request.
Google has made its leap into semantic search with the Knowledge Graph, which aims to deliver more relevant search results by taking context into account.
A useful video that does a good job of discussing the problem that exists due to the extensive amount of data being generated.
Thus the need for a web 3.0. The evolution involves thinking of and creating a global database of linked data – web pages, information, concepts, photos, videos.

"The pragmatic contributions of semantic technologies reside more in mindsets, information models and architectures than in ‘linked data’ as currently practiced.” “No matter how expressed, the idea behind all of these various [Semantic Web related] terms has in essence been to make meaningful connections, to provide the frameworks for interoperability. Interoperability means getting disparate sources of data to relate to each other, as a means of moving from data to information. Interoperability requires that source and receiver share a vocabulary about what things mean, as well as shared understandings about the associations or degree of relationship between the items being linked.” Full Article Here: http://semanticweb.com/the-semantic-web-is-more-than-linked-data_b28652 
You might have come across the term "Semantic Web Applications" often, during talks about the future of Web apps. The semantic Web is a facet of technology that will allow this content to become meaningful for machines, and will enable them to process this content and help us share, combine and analyse content effectively.

Web 3.0 merging seamless digital interaction and semantics to unify how we look at and use the Web.
Web 3.0 is about more semantic web adapters and better results for users.
It is about a technology that presents itself so that users think less about and feel more comfortable with to make it work for them as well as work for the companies and network operators who run the Web and give back to those users the same way users give back and even more.

Wikipedia, with a new initiative called Wikidata, is radically reconfiguring itself to take advantage of the "Semantic Web."
Wikidata will create a collaborative database that is both machine readable and human editable and which will underpin a lot of knowledge that is presented in all 284 language versions of Wikipedia.

Where's the Web going from here? With quickening advances, expect the leap from Web 2.0 to 3.0 (and even 4.0) to happen in a snap.
When the Worldwide Web first started—what we call Web 1.0—it was all about search and having access to information. It’s when we used the web as an Information Age tool, for our Information Age world.
Today, it’s all about Web 2.0, where the key activities are sharing and communicating, rather than just informing.
So, look where we are today. It’s Web 3.0, and that means immersion.

Most SEOs have heard of the semantic web but a lot aren’t too sure what it is or how it affects searches, search results and the bottom line. Well read on because according to The Wall Street Journal over the next few months Google will be displaying answers to searches that are questions like “height of great pyramid”.
Dave Lauretti in this post, will try to explain what the semantic web is and how Google has been trying to master the domain of semantic information – that is, information that is related to each other.

Traditional search engines index documents like pages, images or videos.
You can search their index by entering a regular query, like on Bing or Google, or you can benefit from their structured data by formulating advanced searches and get precise results.
But documents do not offer much information that is understandable by machines.
Sehrch, still in Alpha, gathers semantic web objects instead of documents.
A search like “name:Tony Iommi (type:Person)” will present biographical data about Mr Iommi instead of a list of links to pages that might hold relevant information. Even though there is a short intro to formulating queries, I found that it takes practice to get the results you are looking for.
With the right query, it’s beautiful, though.

The idea of a ‘Semantic Web' involves computers being “capable of analysing all the data on the Web – the content, links, transactions between people and computers.”
This idea was laid down by one of the founding fathers of the Internet and worked on by researchers later.
Dr. James Hendler, an artificial intelligence researcher at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA, and one of the co-founders of the Semantic Web, is at the head of the ‘Tetherless World Constellation' which works to enhance the Web's reach beyond your PC or laptop and develop new technology to that expand the capabilities of the Web.
Recently Dr Hendler spoke to eWorld about the evolution of the Web, the Semantic Web and its evolution.
Excerpts from the interview: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/features/eworld/article2883222.ece?ref=wl_features
The Web 2.0 is definitely solidified, and was for a few years before it has started to wane.
But now, sites like Pinterest, Punchfork, and Fab are showing what is becoming the Web 3.0 aesthetic.
These sites have a few things in common like minimal interfaces, shareable, personalized content and interfaces that encourage scrolling, and other types of interaction.
There are several important things that these types of interfaces show us about how we are using the Web, circa 2012.
1) Scrolling and unconventional interfaces are okay
2) Sharing is a given
3) Photos sell
4) Personalization is everywhere

Different web versions have come and will continue to come to make the online web surfing experience better for the surfer. In simple words, Web 3.0 is the web of linked data.
Earlier web version 1.0 was concerned with linked Pages, then the version 2.0 of linking people came, and soon will come the 3.0 version of linked data.
The ultimate objective of every web version was to improve the end user experience.
This post explains the impact which Web 3.0 will have on user experience, along with the challenges it poses for the internet marketing professionals, and what measures can web marketers take to cope up with the challenges Web 3.0 is going to pose to them. |
