FedBizOpps search on "Semantic" = 1
I took a look at Nova Spivak's Twine demo this week. One of those ouch! moments when you realize that the thing you've been trying to build on and off for a couple years just got done better, slicker and faster. I've still got a few things I'd do differently - I'd focus more on annotating each URL and using that as a concept address for notes, and provide a simple way for webmasters to get a feed of all the comments users make about their pages. But the basic idea of a bookmarklet that lets y...

Categories and Classes
We've been working with two clients lately, both of whom are using an ontology as a basis for their SOA messages as well as the design of their future systems.

I predict that within the next ten years, ‘SI' in the context of information systems technology will primarily refer ‘Semantic Integration.'

| Blog - Dean Allemang | Should every web page be semantic-backed?
A few months ago, when SPARQL made it up to Candidate Recommendation at
the W3C, the announcement elicited considerable discussion on the
techie forum /. A common sentiment expressed there was that RDF and
SPARQL are just some weird fad, and that relational tables are here to
stay. In ten years, we'll still be coding in SQL, and nobody will
remember what RDF stands for.
