Semantic Web Technology
Links - Semantic Web (Miscellaneous)
Nov 4 2009: Getting active, or maybe reactivating.
This page is just a collection of links so far. The link above for the 'Miscellaneous' subject is to my own modest effort with Semantic Mediawiki. It's nascent but coming along.
The entire Semantic Web subject area will be getting a makeover soon.
Weaving Meaning: An Overview of the Semantic Web
Good W3 Powerpoint presentation by Eric Miller.
Links - Semantic Wikis
Jan 26 2009. derived from PHP Wikis and Knowledge Wikis.
Often referred to as "knowledge wikis", they are capable of providing some level of knowledge representation and management functions as well as the usual features available in traditional wikis. They may be the closest existing solution to some of the requirements for a Semantic Web ( however it gets defined ).
Links - Web Ontology Language ( OWL2 )
Revised Nov 1 2008: Draft of OWL2 specs.
The recent drafts of the OWL2 specification describe some important changes from OWL1. In a nutshell,
The structural specification of OWL 2 provides the foundation for the implementation of OWL 2 tools such as APIs and reasoners. ... This document also defines the functional-style syntax, which closely follows the structural specification and allows OWL 2 ontologies to be written in a compact form.
Links - SWRL, OWL and the Inferencing Web
This is a new topic ... it is more abstract than most content on this site and may be moved to the Home site.
Links- Java RDF/OWL Tools
Of the 702 Semantic Web tools listed in Mike Bergman's masterlist, 332 are implmented in Java .... and Java now being a fully open source and open licence language ...
Stray link I'll find a home for: http://www.daml.org/tools/
Links- SemWeb Search Engines
Updated Sept 16 2008
Semantic web search engines ? Social bookmarking run mad ? We shall see. The new search technology is still early in the S-curve and more useful for pop culture subjects than for rule based systems.
From the WikiaSearch project page:
Wikia's search engine concept is that of trusted user feedback from a community of users acting together in an open, transparent, public way.
Links - Semantic Web Technology
The Semantic Web held pride of place at the AAAI 2008 Spring Symposium Series.
Links - Drupal and the Semantic Web
It's getting serious. Things are moving resolutely forward toward Drupal 6 and 7.
The seems to be some confusion about the difference between 'rule engines' and 'semantic web' applications. See related link to "Semantic Web Inferencing versus Rule Engines"
Link - SemWeb Tools for PHP
Update 3/26/2008 - ARC completely reimplemented and released as ARC2.
Update 7/25/2008 - added Triplify 0.3 section.
From the ARC site:
ARC is a lightweight, SPARQL-enabled RDF system for mainstream Web projects. It is written in PHP and has been optimized for shared (or otherwise performance- or privilege-limited) Web environments.
ARC facilitates the integration of RDF and SPARQL functionality in PHP/MySQL-driven frameworks.
Link - Semantic Web Topics and Indexes
Updated Sept 25 2008: new link This page describes the taxonomy of semantic web topics adopted by the European projects Knowledge Web and REWERSE
Links - OntoGrid, InteliGrid, etc.
OntoGrid provides a technical infrastructure for the rapid prototyping and development of knowledge-intensive services for the Semantic Grid.
Links - Commercial Semantic Web Technologies
The main link is to Oracle - Semantic Technologies Center. so far .... From the site:
Semantic Technologies are designed to extend the capabilities of information on the Web and enterprise systems to be networked in meaningful ways. ... Oracle Spatial 11g introduces the industry's first open, scalable, secure and reliable RDF management platform. Based on a graph data model, RDF triples are persisted, indexed and queried, similar to other object-relational data types.
Links - Drupal and Semantic Search
From the drupal.org post, Semantic Search - Faceted Search and Semantic Web:
Link - Semantic Web Client Library
From the site:
The Semantic Web Client Library represents the complete Semantic Web as a single RDF graph. The library enables applications to query this global graph using SPARQL- and find(SPO) queries. To answer queries, the library dynamically retrieves information from the Semantic Web by dereferencing HTTP URIs and by following rdfs:seeAlso links. The library is written in Java and is based on the Jena framework.
