"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."

Research Topic: The Semantic Web - Reference Pages for Higher Education The semantic web is a complex and exciting technology that will change how we work in the information age, and how we interact with the Internet. To support research activity within the field of Education, this site provides dynamic links to resources around the world. Gathered here, you will find: * a vision for educational application of learning made possible with semantic web technologies, * a general reference resource for terms and definitions, * technical resources within the field of the semantic web and semantic networking, * case studies of the semantic web applied in different fields and in education, and * publications and conferences focusing on the semantic web.

Topics in education are changing with an ever faster pace. ELearning resources tend to be more and more decentralized. Users increasingly need to be able to use the resources of the web. For this, they should have tools for finding and organizing information in a decentralized way. In this paper, we show how an ontologybased tool suite allows to make the most of the resources available on the web.

Thetus Publisher Thetus semantic knowledge modeling solutions provide a unique ability to view systems holistically and transcend a data-bound view of problems. At their core, semantic knowledge models are comprised of beliefs and facts expressed through human-readable concepts and relationships. Our flagship product, the Thetus Publisher™, provides a groundbreaking foundation for leveraging semantic technologies to create, manage and evolve semantic knowledge models. The Publisher platform is used in a broad set of integrated solutions ranging from systems for resource modeling to applications for intelligence and national defense.

"Many languages are in serious danger of being lost and if nothing is done to prevent it, half of the world's approximately 6,500 languages will disappear in the next 100 years. Language data are central to the research of a large social science community, including linguists, anthropologists, archeologists, historians, sociologists, and political scientists interested in the culture of indigenous people. The death of a language entails the loss of a community's traditional culture, for the language is a unique vehicle for its traditions and culture. In this paper, we describe the effort undertaken at Wayne State University to preserve endangered languages using the state-of-the-art information technologies. We discuss the issues involved in such an effort, and present the architecture of a distributed digital library which will contain various data of endangered languages in the forms of text, image, video and audio files and include advanced tools for intelligent cataloguing, indexing, searching and browsing information on languages and language analysis. Various Semantic Web technologies such as XML, OLAC, and ontologies are used so that the digital library is developed as a useful linguistic resource on the Semantic Web."

The scope of the UMLS Semantic Network is broad, allowing for the semantic categorization of a wide range of terminology in multiple domains. Major groupings of semantic types include organisms, anatomical structures, biologic function, chemicals, events, physical objects, and concepts or ideas. The links between the semantic types provide the structure for the network and represent important relationships in the biomedical domain. The primary link between the semantic types is the 'isa' link. The 'isa' link establishes the hierarchy of types within the Network and is used for deciding on the most specific semantic type available for assignment to a Metathesaurus concept. There is also a set of non-hierarchical relationships, which are grouped into five major categories: `physically related to,' `spatially related to,' `temporally related to,' `functionally related to,' and `conceptually related to.'

In September's edition of the Semantic Web Gang, regular members are joined by three guests to discuss the investment potential of the Semantic Web and semantic technologies. With continuing investment in (and acquisition of) companies for whom semantic technologies are a key part of their proposition, we explore the extent to which investors are interested in 'semantic technology' per se, and look at recent investments from Union Square Ventures to illustrate the wider discussion. A number of entrants to this year's TechCrunch 50 event feature a semantic technology focus, and we also look at these with the help of Union Square's Brad Burnham, TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld, and VentureBeat's Chris Morrison.

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?

In this article, we'll analyze the trends and technologies that power the Semantic Web. We'll identify patterns that are beginning to emerge, classify the different trends, and peak into what the future holds.

Thomas Schandl interviewed developer Stephane Corlosquet about his efforts to integrate Semantic Web Technologies within Drupal 7. Stéphane Corlosquet has been the main driving force in incorporating Semantic Web capabilities into Drupal. In the recent release of Drupal 7, Semantic Web technologies became part of the core of this popular CMS, which is used to power at least 1% of all the world's web sites.
