"Semantic Web Landscape 2009"

"International Conference for Digital Libraries and the Semantic Web (ICSD2009) September 8-11, 2009 - University of Trento, Trento (ITALY) Digital libraries, in the central view of the term, focus on storing and organizing digital objects and providing access to these objects through professional or user-generated metadata or content-based search (full text, image content, full musical score). In an expanded view, DLs also support annotation, generation or editing of digital objects and provide tools for processing digital objects. The semantic Web focuses on the formal representation of data for more precise retrieval and, more importantly, for reasoning so that many often disparate items of data can be combined to directly answer a user's question or to devise a plan of action. ICDLSW addresses two main questions: (1) How can digital libraries support Semantic Web functionality? (2) How can Semantic Web technology improve digital libraries? "

The Semantic Web Awareness Barometer 2009 aims at providing the reader with a brief overview over current trends and possible future topics in the fast evolving and dynamic field of web semantics. It also addresses Social Software, since these two areas are expected to condition each other. The data analysed in this survey was primarily collected among Semantic Web specialists from science and industry.

"SemHE 2009: Semantic web applications for learning and teaching support in higher education"

"Andreas Blumauer (Semantic Web Company) talked with Brian Donnelly about a new system on the market called "Semantic Discovery System" (SDS), which helps to do sophisticated queries across existing datasets. Also talking why complex scripts or triple stores should not be exposed to the end-users anymore."

"While some people work heavily on the extension of the semantic web infrastructure, like Talis Connected Commons or OpenLink´s Amazon EC2 Instantiation others have started to bring the semantic web closer to the developers and therefore to a much broader audience: They offer search facilities or Linked Data Navigators like OpenLink´s Entity Finder or DERI´s VisiNav."

What are the big players doing in semantic search? And which of the startups are challenging them? How does semantic technology change search results? What are the key advantages and new opportunities that semantics provides in both the consumer and business search markets?

Andrew Lumpe & David Wicks, Seattle Pacific University Presentation at Sloan Conference, October 2009.

"Earlier this month, I wrote about the Higher Education sector's interest in the opportunities presented by use of semantic technologies. Today I published a podcast with Thanassis Tiropanis, project manager for the recently finished SemTech report and co-organiser of a workshop on Semantic Web applications for learning and teaching which takes place in Nice on 30 September."
