Semantic Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) [ 1 ] that promotes common formats for data on the World Wide Web . By encouraging the inclusion of semantic content in web pages, the Semantic Web aims at converting the current web of unstructured documents into a "web of data". It builds on the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF). [ 2 ] According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries." [ 2 ] The term was coined by Tim Berners-Lee , [ 3 ] the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (" W3C "), which oversees the development of proposed Semantic Web standards. He defines the Semantic Web as "a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines."
10 Semantic Apps to Watch
One of the highlights of October's Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco was the emergence of 'Semantic Apps' as a force. Note that we're not necessarily talking about the Semantic Web, which is the Tim Berners-Lee W3C led initiative that touts technologies like RDF, OWL and other standards for metadata. Semantic Apps may use those technologies, but not necessarily.
Today W3C Launched the new Independent User Interface (Indie UI) Working Group that will collaborate with the Web Events WG to develop a way for user actions to be communicated to web applications. Indie UI will develop an intermediate layer between device- and modality-specific events and the functionality needed by web applications, e.g., scrolling the view, placing focus on an object, etc. Indie UI will define a way for different user actions (e.g., scrolling via touch screen, via mouse wheel, or via voice commend) to be translated into a simple event. Then web application developers can get these events from different devices without having to recognize how the user performed the action.

Nova Spivack, le président de Radar Networks, s’apprête à lancer un outil en ligne, baptisé Twine , qui ambitionne de changer la manière dont nous organisons notre information. Dévoilé au récent Sommet du Web 2 , Twine est un site web où les gens pourront déposer l’information qui leur est importante, des mails, aux vidéos (voir la traduction du communiqué de presse réalisée par Jean-Marie Le Ray ). Twine peut collecter toutes les pages que vous visitez ou les mails que vous envoyez et recevez, explique Kate Greene pour la Technology Review .
Twine : le web sémantique va-t-il devenir grand public ? | Inter
Whatever it is, it needs to layer an understanding of semantics on top of a consumer application. The consumer application needs to be so cool and so viral that people will be open to learning that it is powered by semantic technologies. In that case, it will be possible to further market applications as Semantic Web apps. Consumers will understand that if one Semantic Web application has potential, so might others.
Semantic Web: What Is The Killer App?
Web sémantique : y aura-t-il une application qui tue ? | Interne
Par Hubert Guillaud le 21/01/08 | 2 commentaires | 14,253 lectures | Impression Quelle sera l’application phare du web sémantique ? C’est la question que se pose Alex Iskold dans Read/Write Web , alors que le web sémantique, dit-il, “approche de la maturité” . Une maturité qui se jauge d’ailleurs à l’aune des premières applications publiques. Comme ces 10 applications sémantiques à surveiller qu’évoquaient le Read/Write web quelques semaines plus tôt. Un panel assez intéressant d’applications sémantiques en bêta ou déjà disponibles comme :
