"WELCOME TO KNO.E.SIS
Ten years ago we had billions of web pages, and now we have roughly 5 billion people using mobile phones, collecting observations, and sharing what they think using SMS (Social Media Services), Twitter, and Facebook. Worldwide, there are currently over 40 billion mobile sensors, with more smart devices being created each day, which make up the Internet of Things."
"It's time for a new breed of social networks - where power is taken back from a single authority and control is returned to you, to me, to all of us. It's time to decentralize social networks.

"As the Semantic Web gains momentum, large amounts of semantic information are becoming available online. The emergence of such large-scale semantics opens the way to a new generation of Semantic Systems, able to overcome the brittleness of classic domain-specific semantic systems and supporting open-ended tasks, such as web browsing and question answering. Watson is an innovative gateway for the Semantic Web, whose design has been guided by the requirements of this new generation of Semantic Web applications and by the lessons learnt from previous systems. Watson plays three main roles: 1) collects the a"
