The semantic web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which web content can be expressed not only in natural language, but also in a format that can be read and used by software agents, thus permitting them to find, share and integrate information more easily.[1] It derives from W3C director Sir Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the Web as a universal medium for data, information, and knowledge exchange.

Programming DNA A 2-bit language for engineering biology Biological engineering does not have to be confined to the laboratories of high-end industry laboratories. Rather, it is desirable to foster a more open culture of biological technology. This talk is an effort to do so; it aims to equip you with basic practical knowledge of biological engineering.

Productivity Keep track of your time with the Emergent Task Tracker, online edition Designer David Seah's previously mentioned Emergent Task Planner, which we featured as a downloadable PDF, is now available (with a few small tweaks) in a web-based Flash application called the Emergent Task Timer. The idea: type in your pressing to-dos for the day, then fill in a circle for every 15 minutes you spend on each task. At the end of the day, you can print it out to keep an eye on what you've been doing. The Emergent Task Timer will chime every 15 minutes to remind you to fill in a circle, so you've got no excuse not to keep it updated. Not only is this a terrific tool for tracking your time, but it's also a smart way to keep focused on productive endeavors. Thanks Tim!

Excel Excel tip: Instant in-cell graphs The Juice Analytics blog has a clever little Excel trick that creates a bar graph inside cells using the repeat (REPT) function. REPT looks like this: =REPT(text,number_of_times) For instance, REPT("X",10) gives you "XXXXXXXXXX". For in-cell bar charts, the trick is to repeat a single bar "|". When formatted in 8 point Arial font, single bars look like bar graphs.

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a language for defining and instantiating Web ontologies.[1] An OWL ontology may include descriptions of classes, along with their related properties and instances. OWL is designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information instead of just presenting information to humans. It facilitates greater machine interpretability of Web content than that supported by XML, RDF, and RDF Schema (RDF-S) by providing additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics. OWL is based on earlier languages OIL and DAML+OIL, and is now a W3C recommendation.

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) refers to the belief that the human body sometimes burns without an external source of ignition. There is much speculation and controversy regarding SHC, for it is not a proven natural phenomenon. Many theories and hypotheses have attempted to explain how SHC might occur, but those which rely on current scientific understanding say that instances mistaken for spontaneous combustion actually required a source of ignition. One such hypothesis is the "wick effect", in which the clothing of the victim soaks up melted human fat and acts like the wick of a candle. Another possibility is that the clothing is caused to burn by a discharge of static electricity. The likelihood that truly spontaneous human combustion actually takes place is remote, due to the presence of water and the lack of highly flammable compounds and oxygen in the human body.[1]
