"Omniscious is a planned Web 3.0 free open online research platform for non-researchers. The system is intended for anyone curious and interested in investigating complex problems or solving unanswered mysteries. The aim of the project is to develop an Information infrastructure to enable citizens of the world to conduct bottom up distributed research on a mass scale. Read the project description document (PDF) for more information. "

Our goal is to simplify information by transforming it into knowledge. We believe the world is becoming increasingly more complex due to the explosive growth of information from the internet and enterprise environments. Only those companies who can efficiently and effectively manage their flow of information will be able to maximise their objectives. We are solving information complexity by deploying web 3.0 search and retrieval technologies.

Here's a great video presentation I found about the Semantic Web; I transcripted all the main parts here below. Text transcription: The Internet as we know it today is in an extending success: more than 1.300.000.000 (1,3 billions) people are connected to the Web across the globe. In 2006, 161 EB of informations were created or replicated world wide. IDC estimates the increase over 6 times this metric by 2010 - to 988 EB, or to 1 ZB a year.......

DIP's objective has been to develop and extend Semantic Web and Web Service technologies in order to produce a new technology infrastructure for Semantic Web Services (SWS) - an environment in which different web services can discover and cooperate with each other automatically. DIP's long term vision is to deliver the enormous potential benefits of Semantic Web Services to e-Work and e-Commerce.

The Semantic Web Stack, also known as Semantic Web Cake or Semantic Web Layer Cake, illustrates the architecture of the Semantic Web.

Semantic Web Services, like conventional web service s, are the server end of a client-server system for machine-to-machine interaction via the World Wide Web. Semantic services are a component of the semantic web because they use markup which makes data machine-readable in a detailed and sophisticated way (as compared with human-readable HTML ...

Semantic Web Activity Statement The goal of the Semantic Web initiative is as broad as that of the Web: to create a universal medium for the exchange of data. It is envisaged to smoothly interconnect personal information management, enterprise application integration, and the global sharing of commercial, scientific and cultural data. Facilities to put machine-understandable data on the Web are quickly becoming a high priority for many organizations, individuals and communities.

RPI's Tetherless World Constellation will address this emerging area of "Web Science," focusing on the World Wide Web and it's future use. Faculty in the constellation will explore the research and engineering principles that underlie the Web, will enhance the Web's reach beyond the desktop and laptop computer, and will develop new technologies and languages that expand the capabilities of the Web. We will use powerful scientific and mathematical techniques from many disciplines to explore the modeling of the Web from network- and information- centric views.

directory of Semantic Web Services. We hope that this web page will provide semantic web service investigators with an index to projects, standards and bibliographical references of semantic web service proposals.

Annotea is a W3C LEAD (Live Early Adoption and Demonstration) project under Semantic Web Advanced Development (SWAD). Annotea enhances collaboration via shared metadata based Web annotations, bookmarks, and their combinations. By annotations we mean comments, notes, explanations, or other types of external remarks that can be attached to any Web document or a selected part of the document without actually needing to touch the document. When the user gets the document he or she can also load the annotations attached to it from a selected annotation server or several servers and see what his peer group thinks. Similarly shared bookmarks can be attached to Web documents to help organize them under different topics, to easily find them later, to help find related material and to collaboratively filter bookmarked material.

SEMANTIC WEB for the WORKING ONTOLOGIST cuts through the hype around the Semantic Web, providing a simple, feasible, coherent story of a technology that provides real business value today. Authors Allemang and Hendler describe how the Semantic Web builds on the same principles that powered the success of Wikipedia, and of the World Wide Web itself.

Tagpedia is a semantic reference useful to create sense-based descriptions of resources over the Web. In this way it wants to provide support to a better organization and access to semantically described Web contents in order to improve the management and the search for useful information. The initial contents of Tagpedia has been extracted mining Wikipedia.

Collaborative Knowledge Management, powered by the Semantic Web Wikis and social software have revolutionized the ways we create and distribute knowledge. The Semantic Web has already begun to transform the ways we maintain, discover and share knowledge across platforms. The KiWi - "Knowledge in a Wiki" - project proposes a new approach to knowledge management that combines the wiki philosophy with the intelligence and methods of the Semantic Web.

"Semantic Web Services, like conventional web services, are the server end of a client-server system for machine-to-machine interaction via the World Wide Web. Semantic services are a component of the semantic web because they use markup which makes data machine-readable in a detailed and sophisticated way (as compared with human-readable HTML which is usually not easily "understood" by computer programs)."

Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web Affiliated Journal of the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) The Journal of Web Semantics is an interdisciplinary journal based on research and applications of various subject areas that contribute to the development of a knowledge-intensive and intelligent service ..
