The Global Open Data Initiative (GODI) is an initiative led by civil society organizations to share principles and resources for governments and societies on how to best harness the opportunities created by opening government data.

"nitiated by the Library of Congress, BIBFRAME provides a foundation for the future of bibliographic description, both on the web, and in the broader networked world. This site presents general information about the project, including presentations, FAQs, and links to working documents. In addition to being a replacement for MARC, BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data. A major focus of the initiative will be to determine a transition path for the MARC 21 formats while preserving a robust data exchange that has supported resource sharing and cataloging cost savings in recent decades."

The Web Science Trust (WST) is a charitable body with the aim of supporting the global development of Web Science  through a network of world class laboratories known as WSTnet . It is hosted by the University of Southampton. The origins of the Web Science Trust can be found in the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) which was established in 2006.

"The MultilingualWeb initiative is concerned with standards and best practices that support the creation, localization and use of multilingual web-based information. Through W3C workshops open to the public and various communication channels, it spreads information about what standards and best practices currently exist, and what gaps need to be filled."

The Rhizomik initiative is inspired by the rhizome metaphor when working with knowledge from a scientific, technological but also philosophical point of view. This metaphor has accompanied us in our research about knowledge in many different fields, fundamentally Semantic Web, Human-Computer Interaction, Web Science, Complex Systems and Cognitive Science.

This tool currently is available as a console application and embeddable API. We plan to make the crawler a windows application ..

The lod.euscreen.eu/resource/ pilot is an initial attemp of making the EUscreen content availiable as Linked Open Data on the web. It allows users not only to access and retrieve metadata from the EUScreen content,via standard Web technologies, but also to discover relevant data within the multitude of the available content and even to implement applications that integrate data from EUScreen collection.

inventor of the Web and Linked Data initiator, suggested a 5 star deployment scheme for Open Data. Here, we give examples for each step of the stars and explain costs and benefits that come along with it.

Linked Open ServicesLinked Open Services (LOS) are an approach to exposing services, that is functionalities, on the Web using the same technologies that are associated with Linked Data, in particular HTTP, RDF and SPARQL 

The Rhizomik initiative is inspired by the rhizome metaphor when working with knowledge from a scientific, technological but also philosophical point of view.

"The Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT) is an initiative to construct a catalog of human societal-scale behavior and beliefs across all countries of the world, connecting every person, organization, location, count, theme, news source, and event across the planet into a single massive network that captures what's happening around the world, what its context is and who's involved, and how the world is feeling about it, every single day."

Taking the reference from points in this post will surely help you to initiate the process of domain name transfer with ease, as well as you will be safe from paying unforeseen costs.

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.

MediaWiki is the best known Wiki engine. it is used for Wikipedia and many other projects inside and outside of the Wikimedia Foundation. Over time MediaWiki has grown in functionality and at the same time it became hard to use. This has been recognised and the Usability Initiative is developing much needed improvements to make MediaWiki more usable. Google Wave is a brave new attempt to bring new functionality to well established categories of applications like e-mail, text messaging, wiki and it does it by integrating the functionalities of all of them in a compelling new technology framework. Key elements are the ability to edit in real time with multiple people, an innovative way of showing the history of a wavelet and all this in a WYSIWYG environment.

Project activities will involve focused groups from both the STE "demand" and the "supply" sides. Target groups include enterprises showing high economic value, data volume and complexity, international presence and sophisticated ICT base, like the automotive industry, banking & insurance and process industries an one side and, on the other hand, ICT products & services providers, system embedders, consulting companies, research centres and working groups involved in applied RTD projects. The combined analysis of initial selected industries vs. key cross-sector business processes needs, will lead to a broader identification and analysis of the potential of STE based solutions.

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.

The Linked Data paradigm has therefore evolved from a practical research idea into a very promising candidate for addressing one of the biggest challenges in the area of intelligent information management: the exploitation of the Web as a platform for data and information integration in addition to document search. To translate this initial success into a world-scale disruptive reality, encompassing the Web 2.0 world and enterprise data alike, the following research challenges need to be addressed: improve coherence and quality of data published on the Web, ...

The Open Mind Initiative is a novel world-wide collaborative effort to develop 'intelligent' software. Open Mind collects information from people like you -- non-expert 'netizens' -- in order to teach computers the myriad things which we all know and which underlie our general intelligence but which we usually take for granted. Current computers are notoriously poor in these areas. You can participate by answering questions, contributing data, and playing games online. In this way, you and millions of others help us create 'intelligent' software, made available to all.
