The Semantic Web is...

- A W3C initiative. The goal is to evolve the “classic” Web.

- A big community of researchers and developers

- A set of languages for data and knowledge representation

- Formal models

- A growing set of software tools supporting a “smarter” Web

Sunday, November 21, 2010

WWW: basic components

- HTTP to trasfer data

- GET /index.html

- URLs to identify resources

- http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=semantic+web

- HTML to represent resources

- <html><head><title>…

- GCI, scripting, etc. to develop applications

The “dumb” Web

- The Web is great as it contains a lot of information, and sometimes it is easy to find what you look for

- But sometimes it behaves not so smartly

- We find out that Information that should be naturally correlated... in the and are not

The conference example

The conference example

“Which one is hosting the ESWC?!??!”

“Why the aldemar web site does not even know that the ESWC exists?!?!”

Dumb web in action...

Finally after a lot of clicks I found a couple of hotels for my budget

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Dumb web in azione ...... but what is the closest to the conference

venue?

Dumb web in azione ...

• After a lot of copy/paste into goole maps i find out

• .. but what a pain. After all it is a “mechanical” work and ...

• ... probably other people need to to the very same thing ...

•Why should I do it? Why not a machine?!?!?

Sunday, November 21, 2010

A bit of smartness finally ...

A bit of smartness finally ...

Greek hotel owner

There are many systems like this. Why should I put the same info again and againg. And modify them all

once I need to change them.

Sunday, November 21, 2010

So?

- We do not need more intelligent applications ...

- We just need to let them find the right data at the right time!

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Dumb Web revisited...

- We want addresses to be immediately recognized as such by a machine ...

- ... than we want them to be sent automatically to gmaps (with one click)

- ... but we also what this to happen without a priori agreement

Sunday, November 21, 2010

semantics is hidden, only humans (and not all of them) can extract it from documents

Sunday, November 21, 2010

machines are helpless

Sunday, November 21, 2010

unless...

Sunday, November 21, 2010

we explicitly say to machines what we are talking about

... and we keep it simple...

... and we use simple, structured language that they can understand.

Sunday, November 21, 2010

This is what the Semantic Web is all about.

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is the basic instrument

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Information can be useless without a priori knowledge

Machines needs at least some vocabulary and basic rules of the game

That is where ontologies come in

Linking ?

The Web is great because it is so simple to jump from a web page to the others

With the Semantic Web it should be easy to jump from a database to an other:

Image separated clouds of data that are ready to interoperate with each other ...

as if it was a unique world wide database

An important consideration

The Semantic Web is not a magic thing

It doesn’t necessarily mean artificial intelligence

It aims at better structuring knowledge so that:

Independently produced knowledge can be more easily merged

Applications can be smarter in collecting, managing and presenting knowledge
