Hopefully by the end of the year, the semantic search technology of Twine will make a further step into the construction of structured data on the Web, and its successor T2 will be released. From an interview with Nova Spivack (CEO of Radar Networks, the company behind Twine) we can argue four main points..........

Berkan we find some key points: * structured data is not equivalent to semantic technology. Simply organizing information in a database, to pull results for the search engines inside their SERP, it's not making semantics..........

Transcription below: A revolution is happening in the structure of the web itself. It's gentle and it's powerful, it's like tai-chi: you hardly know that is happening, but when it hits, it has a massive impact.

"Although the Semantic Web (SW) is still very much in its infancy, there is already a lot of data out there which conforms to the proposed SW standards (e.g. RDF and OWL). Small vertical vocabularies and ontologies have emerged, and the community of people using these is growing daily.... "

The latest project by Stephen Wolfram is defined as the first "computational knowledge engine", something capable of answering factual question for you. The Wolfram engine is described as "a proprietary system based on fields of knowledge, containing terabytes of curated data and millions of lines of algorithms to represent real-world knowledge as we know it".

Two days ago Stephen Wolfram gave an early preview of his "computational knowledge engine" Wolfram Alpha at a talk at Harvard University. The video of the whole presentation (1h 45min long) is here above, while down below you can find some highlights I transcripted from his speech.
