This announcement comes on the heels of CNET's partnership with Reuters to publish data to the Linked Data cloud. Moreover, exactly one month ago, we wrote that Linked Data was a concept "whose time has come" and gave a thorough overview of the concepts and standards it entails, for curious readers who would like to drill deeper on the subject. In another recent interview , Sandhaus detailed the tagging process for the Times ' corpus , both for print and online articles: The timing, licensing, format, and other factors of the project are yet to be determined. "There are two types of tagging that go on at the times... Every day, indexers take the paper and go article by article and associate each article with subject keywords.

Le New York Times prend la température en intégrant son thesaurus dans le LinkedData. by nicolas Jul 26

Releasing the Times thesaurus is consistent with our TimesOpen strategy. We want to facilitate access to slices of our data for those who want to include Times content in their applications. Our TimesTags API already makes available our most frequently used tags, the 27,000 that power our topics pages . But the new effort will go well beyond that. We plan to release hundreds of thousands of tags from the corpus back to 1980, and later, in a second phase, hundreds of thousands more going back to 1851.

Pour être exhaustif, il convient de citer un troisième camp, constitué par ceux qui s’imaginent que fermer leurs portes les mettra à l’abri du Tsunami à venir, dans lequel le plus virulent est sans nul doute l’Associated Press, et qui risque de fédérer bon nombre de dinosaures nostalgiques, destinés à mourir dans la décénie à venir, faute d’avoir ne serait-ce que tenté de s’adapter au monde d’après la météorite du “web 3.0”, qui pointe son nez. Il y a un mois, Richard MacManus, le fondateur de ReadWriteWeb dont les prédictions sont attendues chaque année comme celles d’une véritable pythie des temps modernes, annonçait que le temps des données liées était arrivé. On voit donc de plus en plus clairement se dessiner deux camps, regroupant des assemblages de media et de technologies. Reuters, lié stratégiquement, via Bit.ly, à Twitter dans l’exploration sémantique du temps réel, mais également à pas mal de média qui utilisent Calais, et dans l’autre camp le Times, ainsi que Yahoo!

Microsoft (Powerset) http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/powerset/archive/2009/06/23/bing-the-2009-semantic-technology-conference.aspx Tweet from Aaron Gladders regarding Bing @ SemTech Ron Kaplan had this to say on the conference: “I was very impressed with the momentum of the semantic web community. These things are really coming together, they’re beginning to be applications, beginning to be the datasets that make the applications worthwhile. And my perception is that semantic technology…is now at the take-off point. There was a kind of maturity to the technology and the discussions that I hadn’t seen a year ago or so.”

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/wolframalpha_the_use_cases.php Wolfram|Alpha Stephen Wolfram told Chronicle.com that computer-algebra systems like Wolfram|Alpha actually improve education - because they allow students to explore complex problems on their own and intuitively determine how functions work, rather than just learn rote processes. Wolfram claimed that "it's better to let them [students] stand on that platform and go further." Either way, it's clear that Wolfram|Alpha and similar computational software will force the education system to adapt and change. Students now have a new (and certainly easier to use, as it's on the Web) platform on which to compute things.

NO information or the WRONG information? share share In fact, there’s a nice set of resources from the conference taking shape over on the Semantic Universe site ; take a look and see video from the Linked Data Panel ( another of the sessions I moderated), the keynote sessions and more. As well as generating our regular audio podcast, the event organisers were kind enough to also video the session, and publish the video on their site .

http://ivan-herman.name/2009/06/19/semtech2009-impression/ Ivan’s impressions Unfortunately, I had to skip Peter Mika’s presentation on the SearchMonkey experiences, I will have to look at his slides… But, as a last minute addition to the program, the organizers succeeded in getting Othar Hansson and Kavi Goel to talk about Google’s rich sniplets. I have already blogged on this a few weeks ago but this presentation made the goal of the project way more understandable. Essentially, by recognizing specific microformat or RDFa vocabularies, they can improve the user experience by adding extra information on the search result. It is interesting to observe the difference between Yahoo! and Google in this respect: both of them use microformats/RDFa for the same general goal but, whereas Yahoo! relies on the community providing applications and on users personalizing their own search result page, Google controls the output in a generic way that does not require further user actions.

http://www.w3.org/QA/2009/06/reflections_on_semtech_2009.html We fast forward to 2009 and see similar dynamics with Semantic Web technologies. There are the early adopters and evangelists who have already climbed aboard the "RDF-bus," understand what's possible with W3C's Semantic Web technology standards, and can point to impressive results in new tools, pilot projects and even robust deployments within organizations, governments, and enterprises. Yet skeptics remain both in terms of understanding the paradigm shift that the Semantic Web brings, just as the early Web challenged the status quo, and in the legitimate need for better tools and long-term architectural considerations for how to successfully deploy Semantic Web technologies in large enterprises.
