Semantic Web By Kristen Gripp LI832XI
What is the Semantic Web? • Web of Data • Create data stores on the Web • Build vocabularies • Write rules for handling data • Uses • Metadata • Ontology • Standards • Resource Description Format (RDF) (1997) • Web Ontology Language (OWL) Burke, M. (2009) W3C, Activity. (2011) Shadbolt, N.(2006)
The History of Semantic Web • Tim Berners-Lee • World Wide Web in 1989 at CERN (W3C, Tim, 2011) • Introduced idea of Semantic web to W3C in 1994 (Shadbolt, 2006) • Scientific American article 2001
Quote from Tim Berners-Lee • My dream for the Web has two parts. In the first, I see the Web becoming a much more powerful means for collaboration among people. In the second, collaborations extend to computers. Machines become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the contents, links and transactions between people and computers (Anbarasan, 2000). (Burke, 2009)
How it is used • Case Studies • Digital Music Archive for the Norwegian National Broadcaster • A Linked Open Data Resource List Management Tool for Undergraduate Students (W3C, Activity, 2011) • Applications • E-business • Social Networking • Knowledge Management (Mehra, 2011)
The Future • Google offerings • Google Knowledge Graph • Company Acquisitions • Bloomberg LB PolarLake • DG Peer39 • Activity from W3C • Linked Data Platform Working Group • Schema.org Hamby (2012)
My Evaluation • What I think • Is it effective? • YES • What would I change
