Linked Data is Blooming: Why You Should Care
Last week we discussed how the current era of the Web is evolving. One of the concepts we noted was Linked Data, an idea whose time has come in 2009. Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web, gave a must-view talk at the TED Conference earlier this year, evangelizing Linked Data. He said that Linked Data was a sea change akin to the invention of the WWW itself.

Advice for Semantic Web Startups: Embrace Evolution Photo credit: Flickr/kevindooley The Semantic Web is so very much about adaptability a€“ adaptability of data to serve new purposes, adaptability to top-down and bottom-up approaches, and delivery of a whole new Web space that users will adapt to, without necessarily even realizing the mechanics behind the change. Semantic Web entrepreneurs are discovering that adaptability matters to their own business models as well, when the field is still so green, many people still aren’t 100 percent sure about why the Semantic Web might matter to them, and potential big customers may be skeptical about the street cred of an emerging company in a space that may still feel a little blurry to them. Take the case of startup Bueda, co-founded by CEO Vasco Pedro.
The Web of Data: Creating Machine-Accessible Information
In the coming years, we will see a revolution in the ability of machines to access, process, and apply information. This revolution will emerge from three distinct areas of activity connected to the Semantic Web: the Web of Data, the Web of Services, and the Web of Identity providers. These webs aim to make semantic knowledge of data accessible, semantic services available and connectable, and semantic knowledge of individuals processable, respectively. In this post, we will look at the first of these Webs (of Data) and see how making information accessible to machines will transform how we find information. The amount of information and services available is growing exponentially.
C Semantic Web Activity
The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is lots of data we all use every day, and it is not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar? Why not?

Top-Down: A New Approach to the Semantic Web
Earlier this week we wrote about the classic approach to the semantic web and the difficulties with that approach. While the original vision of the layer on top of the current web, which annotates information in a way that is "understandable" by computers, is compelling; there are technical, scientific and business issues that have been difficult to address. One of the technical difficulties that we outlined was the bottom-up nature of the classic semantic web approach.

3 Ways Semantic Web Can Grow Your Business - WebNewser
Photo Credit: Flickr/kevindooley Ready for the next big thing in the Internet? It’s called Semantic Web and is loosely defined as an assortment of technologies to help readers better understand online information. HuffPo invested into semantic technology by acquiring Adaptive Semantics, Inc. to use the “wisdom of machines” to curate the “wisdom of the crowds.” Google brought the semantic search startup Metaweb into its ever-growing family to make searches even smarter. But what exactly does Semantic Web mean for you?
Semantic Web: Difficulties with the Classic Approach
Summary: The original vision of the semantic web as a layer on top of the current web, annotated in a way that computers can "understand," is certainly grandiose and intriguing. Yet, for the past decade it has been a kind of academic exercise rather than a practical technology. This article explores why; and what we can do about it.
