Semantic Web Part 2

The idea of having a grand taxonomy (or several smaller ones) as the backbone for a semantic web seems to still have a glimmer of life to it judging from this report from the W3C (World Wide Web) conference taking place in Scotland.

Researchers look to semantic Web to drive Internet "Computer scientists discuss ideas for organizing the Internet's growing mass of data" By Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service (May 24)

"Much of the discussion is centered on the "semantic Web," the term for how researchers believe information on the Web can be intelligently labeled, interpreted, and linked through applications that can draw relationships and discover buried information."

Adding keywords to a metatag for description won't do it. "Labeling information on the Internet involves tagging it with code and then classifying it into a taxonomy. Customized taxonomies and ontologies, or data models, could be created for different subject matters to connect disparate, rich information tucked away on servers."

"In the long term, businesses need to realize that developing ontologies for data is an asset, said Richard Benjamins, director of innovation and research and development at Intelligent Software Components in Madrid."

But who will develop and use these on the public Web?

Saw your blog about bad car credit loan - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.

Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!
