Semantic Computing Research Group (SeCo) researches machine-processable semantics related to, e.g., the Semantic Web. We are located at the Aalto University, School of Science and Technology. Our research is focused on semantic media technologies, such as the Semantic Web and intelligent web services. In addition to research and publications, we also create prototype applications that demonstrate the new possibilities of semantic technologies, such as semantic portals for end-users, semantic infrastructural services, and ontologies and tools for creating semantic applications.
The mission of the RDF Working Group, part of the Semantic Web Activity, is to update the 2004 version of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) Recommendation. The scope of work is to extend RDF to include some of the features that the community has identified as both desirable and important for interoperability based on experience with the 2004 ...
Based at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Decentralized Information Group is led by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. DIG's members include leaders in technology and public policy, including the White House CTO for Internet Policy Danny Weitzner. DIG's work is closely coordinated with the activities of the World Wide Web Consortium, the international standards-setting organization for the Web.
The mission of the Web Real-Time Communications Working Group, part of the Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity, is to define client-side APIs to enable Real-Time Communications in Web browsers.
"Ontologies are formal descriptions of the world encoded in a "computational logic". The Web is the largest information structure in the world encompassing everything from a substantial part of the world economy to the fluffiest of emphemera. When the tidy world of logic hits the sprawling mudball of the web, the result is the W3C's Web Ontology Language, OWL."
Zhe Research Group Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is hosted by the Chair of Business Information Systems (BIS) of the Institute of Computer Science (IfI) / University of Leipzig as well as the Institute for Applied Informatics (InfAI).
Development of methods, tools and applications for adaptive Knowledge Engineering in the context of the Semantic Web
Research of underlying Semantic Web technologies and development of fundamental Semantic Web tools and applications
Maturation of strategies for fruitfully combining the Social Web paradigms with semantic knowledge representation techniques
'.. our Semantic Web Portal technology will be a community portal for the Semantic Web community, at semanticweb.org. We aim to bring together research groups, research projects, software developers and user communities in the Semantic Web area.'
Try out standard CKAN functionality in a sandbox environment. Search for datasets directly from the homepage or by navigating to the Datasets search page where you can facet by tags, groups and format. To add your own datasets, just sign up and create your publishing organization!
SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle", a recursive acronym for SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is an RDF query language, that is, a query language for databases, able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework format.[1][2] It was made a standard by the RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium, and is considered as one of the key technologies of the semantic web.
DataCatalogs.org aims to be the most comprehensive list of open data catalogs in the world. It is curated by a group of leading open data experts from around the world - including representatives from local, regional and national governments, international organisations such as the World Bank, and numerous NGOs.
Create autonomous systems including interactive physical robots and synthetic characters in virtual worlds that learn to communicate in human-like ways;
(2) Understand how children learn to communicate through longitudinal in vivo observation and analysis;
(3) Develop tools for visualizing, searching, and analyzing large corpora (e.g., video) using task-dependent semantic models.
to produce a W3C Recommendation for HTTP-based (RESTful) application integration patterns using read/write Linked Data. This work will benefit both small-scale in-browser applications (WebApps) and large-scale Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) efforts. It will complement SPARQL and will be compatible with standards for publishing Linked Data, bringing the data integration features of RDF to RESTful, data-oriented software development.
