Jean Marie fait une très bonne présentation du service , je vous conseil fortement la lecture de sa synthèse. Le site Read/WriteWeb a quant à lui diffusé les premières captures d’écran de l’application . Etonnement l’article le plus riche après la présentation de Twine est venu de Tim O’Reilly en personne. Tim O’Reilly et Nova Spivack ayant eu recemment des discussions très animés ( ici et la ) au sujet de l’avenir du web et plus précisément du web sémantique. Alors est-ce que Twine est la killer-apps du web sémantique ? Share Twine · Web 2 Summit · Web 3.0 · Web Sémantique. 02/08 La promesse. 11/08 Doutes.

Keyword search only skims the surface of meaning locked in Web pages. Various semantic search technologies try to go deeper by adding structured data to web pages so that the Web can be treated more like a database. But adding semantic metadata to the Web is laborious and time-consuming. Just look at Twine. It’s approach so far has been to add semantic data only to the Web pages members save to the service. While it appeared like Twine was finally getting some traction earlier this year, it’s fallen by the wayside.

But CEO Nova Spivack and his team at Twine have been busy working on something else entirely, to the point that the current Twine service is pretty much on autopilot. When T2 launches, hopefully by the end of the year, it will be a demonstration of what semantic search could be. There can literally be hundreds of thousands of ontologies for every conceivable topic. Business model ? Extracting meaning from the Web is huge project that is very difficult to do at large scale.
