Semantic Web, Can it Happen?
Not if but when What is the Semantic Web ? It’s the Internet in it’s current information pipeline form but with the addition of machine understandable language describing web based objects (pictures, text, audio/video). The term semantic describes the essential meaning of words and in the case of text on the Internet, is usually represented by tags or keywords.
As the world financial crisis has gotten gradually worse over the past few weeks, I've been pondering what this means for the web. ReadWriteWeb as a publication focuses on technology - web products and trends - rather than business and VC happenings. So with the exception of one of our feature writers Bernard Lunn , who has written a number of great posts on how entrepreneurs can survive this period, we've generally kept out of the Credit Crisis discussion thus far. But we're clearly now at a point where the financial problems of the world will have a big impact on where web technology is headed . Indeed, it looks like we've arrived at one of those giant inflexion points - where one web era is usurped by another. Editor's note: Looking back over 2008, there were some posts on ReadWriteWeb that did not get the attention we felt they deserved - whether because of timing, competing news stories, etc.
What's Next After Web 2.0 - ReadWriteWeb
December 19th, 2008 by Caleb Booker Special thanks to Bevan Whitfield for Tweeting the CNN story about this today. It’s a good story but I thought I should sum it up a bit here. The whole concept of the “Semantic Web” is dizzying, high-brow nerdcore that few grasp. Question: Should you?

The Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct Them
Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge. They include concepts, usually enclosed in circles or boxes of some type, and relationships between concepts indicated by a connecting line linking two concepts. Words on the line, referred to as linking words or linking phrases, specify the relationship between the two concepts. We define concept as a perceived regularity in events or objects, or records of events or objects, designated by a label. The label for most concepts is a word, although sometimes we use symbols such as + or %, and sometimes more than one word is used.
