The purpose of this site is to provide resources and information relating to Semantic Media, or "Smart Media", which we feel is a friendlier term. Semantic Media is rich media content that is produced for use across the semantic web - particularly unstructured rich content such as articles, books, video and audio.
"Our goal at Semantic University is to make it easy for anyone to get started with Semantic Web technologies and methodologies. The content starts from the beginning, introduces vocabulary and concepts with each lesson and offers hands-on training online. However, we're not going to stop with beginner material. We provide comprehensive training and documentation of Semantic Web technologies. We include comparisons with other, modern data trends, including NoSQL databases and big data systems."
"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)."

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 ..
Semantic Web Search Engines
This page collects links to Semantic Web Search Engines. Semantic Web Search Engines use robots to crawl RDF data from the Web and provide search and navigation facilities over crawled data.

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.
The real challenge for Semantic Web technologies and ontologies lays in the adoption; although the need for this disruptive technology is clear, it has not yet been fully adopted by the mainstream. Ontologies: where, what for, how, when and why? Ontologies are being used in several applications, but is ontology engineering a mature discipline? Not only are we interested in practical realizations of the Semantic Web, but also in visions of technology that illustrate how SW technology and ontologies could change our experience of the Web.
"Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is a free, open-source extension to MediaWiki - the wiki software that powers Wikipedia - that lets you store and query data within the wiki's pages.
Semantic MediaWiki is also a full-fledged framework, in conjunction with many spinoff extensions, that can turn a wiki into a powerful and flexible knowledge management system. All data created within SMW can easily be published via the Semantic Web, allowing other systems to use this data seamlessly."
PoolParty is a thesaurus management system and a SKOS editor for the Semantic Web including text mining and linked data capabilities. The system helps to build and maintain multilingual thesauri providing an easy-to-use interface. PoolParty server provides semantic services which can be used to integrate semantic search or recommender systems into systems like CMS, DMS, CRM or Wikis.
SMOB is a Semantic MicroBlogging framework that enables an open, distributed and semantic microblogging experience based on state-of-the-art Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies.
It relies on distributed hubs that communicate each other to exchange microblog posts and subscriptions (i.e. following / followers). Anyone can install his own hub and start following other users, while SMOB also allows cross-posting on other platforms such as Twitter.
The semantic mapping of the English language is the key to making Natural Language Processing (NLP) effective. Cognition's unique Semantic Map, which it built over the past 24 years, is the most comprehensive and complete map of the English language available today. It can be used in support of the Semantic Web for semantic search, search tools, business analytics, machine translation, document search, context search, and much more.
SemWiki.org - The Semantic Wiki Community
Semantic Wikis try to combine the strengths of Semantic Web (machine processable, data integration, complex queries) and Wiki (easy to use and contribute, strongly interconnected, collaborativeness) technologies.
MyKnoodl is a complete semantic-technology platform bringing the benefits of semantics to your enterprise information management and analytical challenges. It includes all of the components necessary to host semantic applications. It is web-based semantic-technology infrastructure and can be hosted in the Amazon EC2 cloud and used by your enterprise as a software service (SaaS) or hosted behind your corporate firewall as a web application available on your internal intranet.
A semantic browser is any tool for browsing semantic content, or for browsing content based on semantic data. It thus is a special kind of Semantic Web tool.
A semantic wiki is a wiki that stores some portion of its data in a way that can be queried elsewhere. Typical uses of such data include querying it within the wiki (sometimes using standard query languages like SPARQL), aggregating it in displays like tables, maps and calendars; exporting it via formats like RDF, OWL or CSV; and reasoning with it, to calculate new facts from the given facts. Semantic wikis do not necessarily need to include standards or technologies considered part of the Semantic Web, although they usually do, to some extent.
