"The Disco - Hyperdata Browser is a simple browser for navigating the Semantic Web. The browser renders all information, that it can find on the Semantic Web about a specific resource, as an HTML page. This resource description contains hyperlinks that allow you to navigate between resources. While you move from resource to resource, the browser dynamically retrieves information by dereferencing HTTP URIs and by following rdfs:seeAlso links."

"DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia, and to link other data sets on the Web to Wikipedia data."

"The fourth of July holiday is upon us. And this year, why not celebrate democracy by checking out the open source project GovTrack.us, a site where you can follow the status of federal legislation and members of Congress? The government, of course, puts lots of data about the activities of the U.S. Congress on the web. THOMAS, for example, provides legislative information from the Library of Congress. But much of the time, the user interfaces to sites like this are less than optimal, and the data in each exists in its own individual silo. GovTrack.us is one graduate student's attempt to change the experience when it comes to getting information on pending legislation (and about a decade's worth of historical data on the topic), both in terms of a more accessible interface and pulling together data on the topic from multiple government sources.

"The company is Israel-based MindCite, and its semantic-based software lets homeland security agencies and intelligence agencies collect, integrate, research, and analyze diverse types of information, from structured formats like databases and unstructured formats such as text, to solve crimes, crack cases and get alerts. The company's systems are installed in over a dozen countries, though not stateside yet. "

"Mainstream businesses increasingly are taking the semantic web seriously. Consider the U.K. Governments Technology Program's Market Blended Insight (MBI) project. While funded under that program as a three-year applied research project, it includes as part of its consortium the marketing departments of ParcelForce Worldwide, British Gas Business, AXA, Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank (NAGE), 3M and pH Group. Having these partners on board helps ensure that the work it is doing to help companies improve their marketing activities has application in real-world scenarios. "

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. The Oracle 11g RDF database ensures that application developers benefit from the scalability of Oracle 11g to deploy scalable and secure semantic applications. Application areas include: * Life Sciences: Biological pathway analysis, discovery and enhanced search. * Defense & Intelligence: Data and content integration, reasoning and inference. * Enterprise Application Integration: Data and systems integration, semantic enterprise integration and semantic web services. * CRM/ERP: Supply chain integration, sourcing optimization and customer service automation.

IBM New semantic information management schemes enable companies to make better use of their information. What exactly is semantics? And how can semantics technology help your development efforts? Juhnyoung Lee, a researcher at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, reviews the basics in order to get you started. More >

IBM To represent the Semantic Web, you'll use the following technologies: * A global naming scheme (URIs) * A standard syntax for describing data (RDF) * A standard means of describing the properties of that data (RDF Schema) * A standard means of describing relationships between data items (ontologies defined with the OWL Web Ontology Language) Let's take a closer look at these technologies.

Bo, you mainly deal with the application of semantic technologies in medicine and life sciences. What is your motivation to do this? What fascinates you about this field of research? Looking back from this point in time, I cannot help to ask myself: while information and communication technologies (ICT) have achieved incredible advances in the last decade or so and have been successfully applied in numerous fields to improve the quality of our everyday life, why do we still find old fashioned services dominant in public health care? Have we, as computer scientists or IT professionals, done enough in the so-called semantic web (SW) era to make patients suffer less and to make medical doctors' lives easier?

Zepheira provides end to end solutions to integrate, navigate and manage information across personal, group and enterprise boundaries. From education to implementation we apply semantic technology to address data integration challenges, organize patterns and relationships inherent in your data, clear up complexity, and increase collaboration among your employees, partners and customers.

Calais enhances your content with rich semantic metadata. Using your content as a starting point, you can utilize Calais to automatically add metadata such as entities (people, places, organizations, etc.), facts (John Doe work for Acme Corporation as the CEO), and events (a natural disaster of type landslide happened on date x). That metadata is generated in industry-standard formats that ease integration with whatever commercial, open source or proprietary content management system you are using. Metadata in and of itself is not too interesting. Where things get more interesting is what you can do with it.
