"A new microformat for online news has been developed by the Media standards Trust and the Web Science Reaseach Initiative: it's called hNews. The goal is to make relevant elements of news articles machine-readable, and at the same time, to disply these metadata in a user-friendly format. ....."

How can we provide access to information services that are available only in English(or Dutch, German, French, etc.) to people who do not speak this language, or not good enough to understand everything they need to know? Monnet will be concerned with providing solutions for this, using a novel combination of automatic machine translation and Semantic Web technology. The project is a joint effort between four European research institutes, German software giant SAP, Dutch company Be Informed - specializing in knowledge-based solutions for public sector information services - and standardization organisation XBRL-Europe - defining the standard for financial and business reporting across Europe.

SADI is a framework for discovery of, and interoperability between, distributed data and analytical resources. It combines simple, stateless, GET/POST-based Web Services with standards from the W3C Semantic Web initiative. The objective of SADI is to make it easy for data and analytical tool providers to quickly make their resources available on the Semantic Web with minimal disruption to their usual practices. SADI is quite a distinct "technology" in that there's nothing to it… literally! SADI avoids creating new technologies or non-standard Web "infrastructure" (e.g., message formats).

Semantic-based data federation solutions using W3C certified standards

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.

W3C develops technical specifications and guidelines through a process designed to maximize consensus about the content of a technical report, to ensure high technical and editorial quality, and to earn endorsement by W3C and the broader community.

"Although the Semantic Web (SW) is still very much in its infancy, there is already a lot of data out there which conforms to the proposed SW standards (e.g. RDF and OWL). Small vertical vocabularies and ontologies have emerged, and the community of people using these is growing daily.... "

The Semantic Web is a vision for extending the Web so that machines can more intelligently integrate and process the wealth of information that is available. Unlike HTML and ordinary XML, Semantic Web languages allow semantics (i.e., meaning) to be explicitly associated with the content. The semantics are formally specified in ontologies, which can be shared via the Internet and extended for local needs. The current standard for the Semantic Web is OWL, a W3C Recommendation. The Semantic Web and Agent Technologies (SWAT) lab is investigating many of the issues needed to realize the Semantic Web vision.

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!

This wiki is for connecting the W3C communities (Web developers, implementers, people who make the W3C specifications). The W3C has a formal track for making standards specifications. The specs answer a lot of questions, but not all of them. The wiki is used by many communities such as the Open Web Platform and the Semantic Web. You might want to contribute to W3C work

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.

"HOBBIT aims at abolishing the barriers in the adoption and deployment of Big Linked Data by European companies, by means of open benchmarking reports that allow them to assess the fitness of existing solutions for their purposes. These benchmarks are based on data that reflects reality and measures industry-relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with comparable results using standardized hardware."

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.

Open Data Registry (ODR) links together the data enterprises and consumers need to make better decisions about how to make, buy and use goods. Built upon linked open data standards, ODR provides a secure registry and access protocol for enterprises to safely share supply chain data with apps for computation, so they can innovate more sustainable products for their customers.

inked data describes a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful. It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried.[1]
