Semantic Web Eco-System Saranyan Narasimhan 30/Nov/2009
Introduction Goal for Semantic Web Technology - Replacement to the current Web (1.0/2.0) - Touted as Web 2.0 - Unlimited access to the available open information. Current State of acceptance of Semantic Web: 1. Research Labs 2. High investment projects for specific areas like Health Care, Security, Oil Explorations.
What is the Remedy ? • Generate Network Effect Network Effect • Positive feedback • Square root of the total number of users Example: Telephone / Orkut / …. Almost all software exhibit Network Effect
EcoSystems What is an EcoSystem ? - System where more than one species interact, grow and flourish. Software Ecosystem Set of related tools, software products and utilities, platforms and environments. Example: General: Open Source Ecosystem Specific: Java Eco System
EcoSystem Analogy • Human = SemWeb • CS-6v81 = Humans • Land = Rdbms / other • Forest = Web1.0 / 2.0 • Herbivores = ??? • Carnivore = ???
Need to identify “Support Tech.” • Understand Technology Gap • Areas of Potential Research • Identify factors that can lead to the Generation of “Network Effect” • Web 1.0 • Creation of HTTP • REST-ful Design • HTML - Easy code • Wizards
Apply the Model to Semantic Web • Potential to Generate Network Effect = Semantics-aware Search Engines • MicroTags • Natural Language Processing Technologies • WEB 1.0 Annotators – Convert 1.0 to SemWeb • D2RQ and R2D • Software to Create Semantic Pages : Jena • Community of S/W Engrs with Jena or Equivalent skills :)
Current State of Semantic Search Engines • Page Retrieval Algorithm ? • Page Rank Algorithm ?
NLP and Annotators • Annotators = Area of Potential Research ??? • Statistical NLP (SNLP) versus Semantic NLP • With Semantic Web, will SNLP gain momentum ??? • Interaction between SNLP and Semantic Information ?
Conclusion • Identified a Few Missing Links • Lots of Opportunities for Research • May take a while to mature
