Why do we call http://www.mindswap.org the first site on the Semantic Web?
First Chronologically
This site builds on a previous web site that used a toolkit based on a web ontology language called SHOE, developed at the University of Maryland. Former Maryland PhD student Jeff Heflin did his thesis on SHOE, and developed many ...

The major mission of DIP is to further develop semantic web and web services and especially, to enable their combination. DIP takes the vision of Semantic Web Services and will work on transforming it into a mature and scalable technology. We will define and implement additional layers of functionality on top of the current web service stack and ...

In a nutshell, it is the mission of Knowledge Web to strengthen the European industry and service providers in one of the most important areas of current computer technology: Semantic web enabled eWork and eCommerce. We will concentrate our efforts around the outreach of this technology to industry. Naturally, this includes education and research ...

The Commission has just finalised the evaluation of proposals submitted to the first call for proposals to the IST priority. With the help of external experts, 236 projects were selected out of 1400 submitted. These will receive above 1 B€ of funding and are expected to start the work in the coming 2-3 months. A key feature of the selection ...

We are on the brink of a new generation of World Wide Web (WWW) which, in his recent book Weaving the Web, Tim Berners-Lee calls the Semantic Web. Unlike the existing WWW, where data is primarily intended for human consumption, the Semantic Web will provide data that is also machine processable. This will enable a wide range of intelligent ...

web services promise a new level of service on top of current web. However, in order to employ their full potential, appropriate description means for web services need to be developed. Current technology around UDDI, WSDL, and SOAP provide limited support in mechanizing service recognition, service configuration and ...

Efficient knowledge management has been identified as key to maintaining the competiveness of organisations. Ontologies have been developed in the knowledge engineering discipline as a means to share and reuse knowledge. The On-To-Knowledge project will develop methods and tools and employ the full power of the ontological approach to facilitate ...

SIMILE is a research project investigating how to extend DSpace [dsp], an existing project between Hewlett-Packard Laboratories [hew] and MIT Libraries [mit]. DSpace provides stable long-term storage for the digital products of MIT faculty and researchers by offering:
* users with easy remote access so they can read and search DSpace items from the World Wide Web.
* contributors with the advantages of digital distribution and long-term preservation for a variety of formats including text, audio, video, images, datasets and more. Authors can store their digital works in collections maintained by MIT communities.
* the institution with the opportunity to provide access to all their research through one interface. The repository is organized to accommodate the varying policy and workflow issues inherent in a multi-disciplinary environment. Submission workflow and access policies can be customized to adhere closely to each community"s needs.

The SWAD-Europe project aims to support W3C"s Semantic Web initiative in Europe, providing targeted research, demonstrations and outreach to ensure Semantic Web technologies move into the mainstream of networked computing. The project factsheet and objectives are available.
The project team use a publically archived mailing list, public-esw ...

SWAP combines two highly successful technologies, viz. Semantic Web and Peer-to-peer computing. SWAP will develop the technology that is necessary to allow users their individual views on knowledge AND let them share knowledge effectively. In order to allow for individual views, every user’s PC is treated as a peer and every user may ask queries ...

RDF API Draft -
This is a draft of an RDF API provided for a public discussion. The API defines interfaces for parsing (org.w3c.rdf.syntax) and accessing RDF models as sets of statements (org.w3c.rdf.model). Default implementations for those interfaces are included in the org.w3c.rdf.implementation package.
There are additional modules ...

Activities such as XML Web Services and the Semantic Web are trying to create a web of machine readable data. This Web is envisioned to be analogous to the current World Wide Web (WWW), except it will consist of machine readable data.
This has the potential for having as big an impact as the human readable web. However, given the ...

Centre for Bioinformatics and Biological Computing Murdoch University
Bioinformatics deals with the collection, organization and analysis of large amounts of biological data, using computing sciences and data network technologies. Recent advances in biological sequencing technologies have resulted an explosion in the ...

The WWW is focused on presenting documents for humans to view, rather than providing data for software-based extraction, processing, and querying. Despite numerous proposals for creating a semantic web over the last decade, the vision of the semantic web has not yet materialized.
The Mangrove project seeks to create an environment in which ...
