1 SEMANACCO -a web-based application for accommodation providers to easily create semantically annotated descriptions of their accommodations, based on widespread vocabularies [1] semantically annotated accommodations
Objectives • Development of an application that enables users to generate Rich Snippets for accommodation descriptions • A Rich Snippet is a descriptions of a search result that is shown below a certain search result • used to facilitate Search Engine Optimization additional informationtogainmoreattention • Rich SnippetsconsistofSemanticAnnotations
SemanticAnnotations • Traditional Web is only understandable for humans • Semantic Web strives to be understandable for machines • machine-readable descriptions of resources are necessary. • This is where annotations are used to markup the semantics. improve accuracy of Web searches (look for only those pages that refer to a precise concept instead of all the ones using ambiguous keywords)
SemanticAnnotationscont. • At present, three major approaches to apply semantic annotations compete against each other: Microformats, RDFa, and Microdata. • Up to the present, it is not fully clear which approach will prevail. • All of them possess some advantages, but also disadvantages. 2 [2] Cf. [BDG+10].
Comparison of Microformats, RDFa and Microdata Cf. [ToLa09], [Spor11], [Hick11], [Sche11], [AHS+12], [ABM+12], [Sche12a], [Spor12], [ABP+12], and [Micro12a].
