Web. Software. Linkeddata. Us 1. Lisp Bot Wins Google AI Challenge — Will Lisp Win in the Semantic Web, Too? The prize for Google’s AI challenge – creating a bot to play the game Planet Wars as intelligently as possible – has been taken by a developer from semantic web vendor Franz Inc. Gábor Melis, who works on the company’s Lisp-based AI database, claimed the win for his Lisp-built Bocsimacko bot that rocked in completing each of 200 turns in one second in a single thread of code. That’s cool, but even cooler is that what Melis did in taking his observations of how humans solve the challenges of the Planet Wars game – defending their turf, allocating surplus resources for colonization and attacking opponents – and making a prototype of those heuristics in LISP may foreshadow how that programming language can have greater resonance in a Semantic Web world.
As Melis describes programming in the language, “it’s almost a continuous feedback loop between coding and thinking, and this is where Lisp is great as a tool for prototyping,” he says. Online Access. The DBpedia data set can be accessed online via a SPARQL query endpoint and as Linked Data. 1. Querying DBpedia The DBpedia data set enables quite astonishing query answering possibilities against Wikipedia data. 1.1.
Public SPARQL Endpoint There is a public SPARQL endpoint over the DBpedia data set at OpenLink Virtuoso as both the back-end database engine and the HTTP/SPARQL server. There is a list of all DBpedia data sets that are currently loaded into the SPARQL endpoint. You can ask queries against DBpedia using: the Leipzig query builder at the OpenLink Interactive SPARQL Query Builder (iSPARQL) at the SNORQL query explorer at (does not work with Internet Explorer); or any other SPARQL-aware client(s). Fair Use Policy: Please read this post for information about restrictions on the public DBpedia endpoint. 1.2. 1.3.

Dabei ist der Social-Media-Riese offenbar nur der erste Trendsetter des modernen Internet-Verhaltens. Denn unterdessen ist auch die Konkurrenz dicht auf den Fersen, so hat etwa der Suchmaschinen-Gigant Google mit "Google +" eine ähnliche Plattform entworfen und auch bereits ins Netz gespeist. Ein Online-Imperium kann natürlich nur ein solches sein, wenn es Geld verdient. Von den Millionen Mitgliedern, die als User auf den Plattformen aktiv sind, kommt es nicht. Zumindest nicht direkt. Das Profil, aber auch das Kommunizieren sowie der Austausch von Bildern und Videos ist für die Mitglieder vollkommen kostenlos. Längst haben viele Unternehmen ihre Chance erkannt und nutzen Facebook & Co. für die wohl treffsicherste Werbung, die es je gab.
Is the Semantic Web Layer Cake starting to crumble? - benjamin nowack's blog. Some thoughts about the ever-growing number of RDF specs. I recently read an article about how negative assertions about something are automatically getting associated with the person who made them. For example, if you say negative things about your competitor's products, people will subconsciously link these negative sentiments directly with you. A psychology thing. So, my recent rants about the RDF spec mania at the W3C have already lead to an all-time low karma level in the RDF community, and I'm trying hard to keep away from discussions about RDFa 1.1 or RDF Next Steps etc. to not make things worse. (Believe it or not, not all Germans enjoy being negative ;) Now, why another post on this topic? Funnily, this isn't so much a question about developers wanting to implement SPARQL 1.1, but rather if they actually can implement it, in an efficient way. Not that any particular spec was bad or useless, but it is becoming increasingly hard for implementors to keep up.
Le moteur de recherche sémantique WolframAlpha a ouvert ses portes | moovie. Le moteur de recherche sémantique WolframAlpha a ouvert ses portes Rédigé le 17.05.2009 par Cédric Bellenger Voici ce qui pourrait très certainement être le futur des moteurs de recherche et de l’Internet en général. Alors que Google doit impérativement développer une offre similaire à celle proposée par Twitter Search (des résultats en temps réels), le géant de Moutnain View devra très certainement développer une offre sémantique (mais peut-être est-il déjà en train de la développer?). Le moteur de recherche Wolfram Alpha dont la date de lancement avait été communiquée en mars dernier vient en effet d’ouvrir ses portes vendredi dernier. Pour comprendre la différence entre un moteur de recherche “standard” (Google, Yahoo! , Exalead…) et un moteur de recherche sémantique, faisons un petit test. Vous souhaitez par exemple savoir qui était le président français en 1914.
Maintenant, effectuons la même recherche (“who was the president of france in 1914?”) Le résultat obtenu est tout autre. Mindswap Homepage. Une touche collaborative pour Kwaga Context, l'assistant e-mail. Quelques semaines après la sortie de Kwaga Context, la start-up française, fondée par Philippe Laval, ancien PDG de Sinequa, a ajouté la fonctionnalité Notes pour répondre à la demande de ses clients. Petit rappel sur la mission de Kwaga Context. Ce logiciel en mode Saas est un outil d'aide à la gestion des courriels. Il offre trois grandes fonctions : le récapitulatif de l'historique des échanges, l'affichage du profil social de l'expéditeur et, surtout, le traitement linguistique du contenu des messages.
Basé sur la théorie des actes de langage L'objectif étant d'isoler les courriels importants, qui nécessitent une réponse ou une action. Il analyse le texte et détecte des indices à partir des formulations. Ensuite, l'outil scrute le fil de la conversation pour éventuellement relancer le destinataire s'il n'a pas répondu.
Une note qui s'affiche sous le profil de l'expéditeur Début juin, l'éditeur a ajouté la fonction Notes. ViewChange.Org Takes Video Into The Semantic Web In A Big Way - semanticweb.com. Here are two words that don’t necessarily spring first to mind when you think of implementing cutting-edge semantic web technology: Video and non-profit. Yet that’s exactly the direction taken by ViewChange.org , a project of Link Media’s LinkTV nationwide news, events and culture television channel and website. With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, ViewChange.org uses video to tell stories about progress in global development, with an eye to influencing action on the part of everyone from average citizens to the media to policymakers to NGO staffers.
Not that you would know that semantics are behind the scene. And that’s a good thing (see The Semantic Web Blog’s recent stories that include reflections on the importance of designing from the user perspective, here and here). “We put a lot of effort into making the site approachable,” says Hannah Eaves, ViewChange project lead. Semantic Tech Steps In. 7 programming languages on the rise | Developer World. In the world of enterprise programming, the mainstream is broad and deep. Code is written predominantly in one of a few major languages. For some shops, this means Java; for others, it's C# or PHP.
Sometimes, enterprise coders will dabble in C++ or another common language used for high-performance tasks such as game programming, all of which turn around and speak SQL to the database. Programmers looking for work in enterprise shops would be foolish not to learn the languages that underlie this paradigm, yet a surprising number of niche languages are fast beginning to thrive in the enterprise. Look beyond the mainstays, and you'll find several languages that are beginning to provide solutions to increasingly common problems, as well as old-guard niche languages that continue to occupy redoubts. All offer capabilities compelling enough to justify learning a new way to juggle brackets, braces, and other punctuation marks.
Agents on the Semantic Web. XML Editor, Data Management, UML, and Web Services Tools from Altova. Graphviz. New Release 2.38 (13 April 2014) The dot program now supports packing of connected components the same way of the other layout tools. (7 March 2014) The edgepaint filter has been added to Graphviz. Given a graph that has been laid out, edgepaint colors the edges in a manner to make it easier for the viewer to distinguish edges that intersect in an almost parallel fashion.
New Release 2.36 (11 January 2014) Public webdot server now available (20 August 2013) A public webdot server is available for use at . New Release 2.34 (6 September 2013) This release includes a new (1.5) version of the xdot format supporting inline text characteristics such as <b> and version-specific output based on xdotversion. New Release 2.32 (1 August 2013) This release includes the features noted below, plus there is a new (1.3) version of the xdot format that encodes linear and radial gradient as color values.

A brief foray into vectorial semantics « the jsomers.net blog. I designed my notes archive to be as easy to write to as possible, because I knew that if there were any friction in the process, I wouldn’t stick with it. So I purposely decided not to tag, label, file, or otherwise classify each note.
The only bits of metadata I do have are timestamps and permalinks, both of which are generated automatically by Tumblr. The unfortunate side effect is that this “archive” of mine, more than two years in the making, is little more than a 280,000-word soup of fragments. And it’s become increasingly difficult to find things, either because I can’t recall the right keyword to use, or—and the chance of this keeps growing—the keyword I can recall appears in too many other notes. Over the weekend, then, I decided to throw a little code at the problem—to see if I could perhaps automatically add structure to my archive. Step 1: Database-ify I should have fetched my notes and stored them in a local database a long time ago.

Semantic Web Deals Continue: Yahoo, Yes, But Blackbaud Too Courtesy: Flickr/takomabibelot There were two acquisitions in the semantic web space this week. One you definitely heard of: Yahoo bought semantic web-based platform Dapper, as it is a big play in the former’s continuing push into the dynamic display ads space (co-founder Eran Shir explains ). Perhaps another of the acquisitions didn’t make it onto your radar, but if you’re one of the one million non-profits in the U.S. trying to attract dollars with few resources in a time when giving’s been tight, it will be of greater interest to you.
Blackbaud, which provides primarily fundraising-related software and services to the sector, acquired NOZA, reportedly the world’s largest searchable database of charitable donations that contains nearly 50 million donation records to U.S. nonprofits as well as more than 2 million Canadian giving records. The Future of the Web is Semantic. The Semantic Web: Not a Moment Too Soon. InShare61 The social Web is under attack – by disturbing marketing practices. The social Web is under attack.
Oddly, it's not under attack by viruses or other kinds of things that one might expect in the tech environment. Rather, it's under attack by marketing practices that are at best questionable and at worst…well, let's just leave it at that. About a month ago, a friend in India contacted me regarding a campaign created for Kent Water Filters by SocialKonnekt. He had noticed something odd about the Facebook profiles supporting the campaigns: odd patterns in friend-to-friend conversations - hundreds of friends and not a single holiday wish, for example, along with a very high number of Facebook "Likes.
" As I noted in a column for ClickZ.Asia, one of the "checks and balances" built into the social Web is that when large numbers of people look at lots of things, content that doesn't "look right" tends to stand out, and thereby creates more questions. Say what? Right on. Why We Need the Semantic Web | DCLnews Blog. Danny Ayers : Raw Blog. Semantics in Practice. The definition of the word “semantics” sounds straightforward enough: According to Merriam-Webster, it is the study of meanings. However, if you ask a technologist, an editor, or an advertising rep, you may come up with widely differing interpretations. They might say it’s a practical application of artificial intelligence; a way to streamline back-office operations and make websites stickier; or a means of contextualizing advertisements for higher efficacy.
None of them is wrong. Ironically, it is the very breadth, depth, and range of possibility inherent in semantic technology that can prevent content companies from experimenting with it, though it may be one of the most useful commercial innovations of the past decade. The murkiness of the word itself, not to mention the standards, acronyms, and jargon that can dominate the discussion of semantics, only adds to the confusion. Particularly for the content industry, semantic technology offers a compelling story.
The Semantic Web, Customer Service, and the Financial World. Yogi Berra once said, “It’s like deja-vu, all over again.” With regard to new technologies, the same continues to hold true: The technologies themselves might be new, but they are fundamentally addressing old problems. Many of today’s emerging technologies such as cloud computing, SaaS, MDM, and social networks are really attempts to deal with core business issues. These include: CostCommunicationCollaborationData integrityAccess to dataNetwork reliabilityScaleThe eternal battle to do more with lessAnd many, many others One lesser-discussed topic is semantic technologies–at least for the time being.
While not on the tips of most people’s tongues quite yet, they are beginning to make inroads in a number of areas. In this five part series, I’ll be covering the semantic web with a particular focus on improving customer service in the financial industry. In this part of this series, we’ll answer three main questions: What is the semantic web? What is the semantic web? Simon Says.
