Semantic web Semantic web :The mental model is fuzzy. It is incomplete. It is imprecisely stated. Furthermore, within one individual, a mental model changes with time and even during the flow of a single conversation. The human mind assembles a few relationships to fit the context of a discussion. As the subject shifts so does the model. When only a single topic is being discussed, each participant in a conversation employs a different mental model to interpret the subject. Fundamental assumptions differ but are never brought into the open. Goals are different and are left unstated. It is little wonder that compromise takes so long. And it is not surprising that consensus leads to laws and programs that fail in their objectives or produce new difficulties greater than those that have been relieved. ...more on Wikipedia about "Counterintuitive Behavior of Social Systems"
On the Semantic Web, the DARPA agent markup language (DAML) aims to enable the next generation of the web — a web that moves from simply displaying content to one that actually understands the meaning of the content. The DAML program has generated the DAML+OIL markup language. The submission of the DAML+OIL language to the World Wide Web consortium captures the work done by DAML contractors and the EU/ U.S. Joint Committee on Markup Languages. This submission was the starting point for the language to be developed by W3C's web ontology working group, webont. ...more on Wikipedia about "DAML"
Description Of A Career (DOAC) is a semantic vocabulary created by Ramon A. Parada to describe professional capabilities of a worker. It has been designed to be compatible with the European curriculum (Europass) so those can be generated from a FOAF+DOAC file. It includes information about education, working experience, publications, spoken languages and other skills so it can be shared and processed by any application. ...more on Wikipedia about "Description of a Career"
The Dublin Core is a metadata standard for describing digital objects (including webpages) to enhance visibility, accessibility and interoperability, often encoded in XML. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dublin Core"
FOAF ( Friend of a Friend) is a project for machine-readable modelling of homepage-like content and social networks founded by Libby Miller and Dan Brickley. The heart of the project is its specification which defines some terms that can be used in statements you can make about someone, such as name, gender and various online attributes. To make linking possible, one includes uniquely identifiable properties of one's friends (such as SHA1 checksums of their E-Mail addresses, a Jabber ID, or a URI to the homepage or weblog of the person). ...more on Wikipedia about "FOAF (software)"
Folksonomy, a portmanteau word combining "folk" and " taxonomy," refers to the collaborative but unsophisticated way in which information is being categorized on the web. Instead of using a centralized form of classification, users are encouraged to assign freely chosen keywords (called tags) to pieces of information or data, a process known as tagging. Examples of web services that use tagging include those designed to allow users to publish and share photographs, personal libraries, bookmarks, social software generally, and most blog software, which permits authors to assign tags to each entry. ...more on Wikipedia about "Folksonomy"
ICRA ** , the Internet Content Rating Association, is an international, non-profit organization with offices in the US and UK. It's mission is to help users find the content they want, to trust what they find and to filter out what they don't want for themselves or for their children. ICRA also acts as a forum through which both policy and technical infrastructure are defined to help shape the way that the World Wide Web and content distribution channels work. ...more on Wikipedia about "Internet Content Rating Association" This article is made for http://www.shortopedia.com shortopedia
Notation 3, or N3 as it is more commonly known, is a shorthand non- XML serialization of Resource Description Framework models, designed with human-readability in mind: N3 is much more compact and readable than XML RDF notation. The format is being developed by Tim Berners-Lee and others from the Semantic Web community. ...more on Wikipedia about "Notation 3"
In Information Science, an ontology is the product of an attempt to formulate an exhaustive and rigorous conceptual schema about a domain. This domain does not have to be the complete knowledge of that topic, but purely a domain of interest decided upon by the creator of the ontology. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ontology (computer science)"
RDF Schema is a language for describing vocabularies in RDF. RDF Schema is a semantic extension of RDF. It provides mechanisms for describing groups of related resources and the relationships between these resources. RDF Schema vocabulary descriptions are written in RDF using the terms described in the RDF Schema specification . These resources are used to determine characteristics of other resources, such as the domains and ranges of properties. ...more on Wikipedia about "RDF Schema"
Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a family of specifications for a metadata model that is often implemented as an application of XML. The RDF family of specifications is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). ...more on Wikipedia about "Resource Description Framework"
A Semantic Broker is a computer service that automatically provides Semantic mapper services. A semantic broker is frequently part of a semantic middleware system that leverage semantic equivilance statements. ...more on Wikipedia about "Semantic Broker"
A Semantic Mapper is tool or service that aids in the transformation of data elements from one namespace into another namespace. A semantic mapper is an essential component of a Semantic Broker and one tool that is enabled by the Semantic Web technologies. ...more on Wikipedia about "Semantic mapper"
A semantic network is often used as a form of knowledge representation. It is a directed graph consisting of vertices which represent concepts and edges which represent semantic relations between the concepts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Semantic network"
The Semantic Web is a project that intends to create a universal medium for information exchange by giving meaning ( semantics), in a manner understandable by machines, to the content of documents on the Web. Currently under the direction of the Web's creator, Tim Berners-Lee of the World Wide Web Consortium, the Semantic Web extends the World Wide Web through the use of standards, markup languages and related processing tools. ...more on Wikipedia about "Semantic Web"
SPARQL ( recursively, SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is a Semantic Web working draft presently ( as of 2005) undergoing standardization by the RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium. Several implementations for multiple programming languages exist. ...more on Wikipedia about "SPARQL"
In computing, Versa is a query language for RDF data. Its compact, functional syntax somewhat resembles Lisp, whereas alternative RDF query languages are typically based on SQL, or specialized XML vocabularies. The design of Versa was inspired by XPath. As of 2005, the only Versa implementation is in the Python-language, open-source 4Suite XML framework. ...more on Wikipedia about "Versa"
In cryptography, a web of trust is a concept used in PGP, GnuPG, and other OpenPGP-compatible systems to establish the authenticity of the binding between a public key and a user. It is, in some respects, an alternative to centralized public key infrastructure (PKI) reliance exclusively on a certificate authority (or a hierarchy of such). As with computer networks, there are many independent webs of trust, and any user (through their identity certificate) can be a part of – and a link between – multiple webs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Web of trust"
OWL is an acronym for Web Ontology Language, a markup language for publishing and sharing data using ontologies on the Internet. OWL is a vocabulary extension of RDF (the Resource Description Framework) and is derived from the DAML+ OIL Web Ontology Language. Together with RDF and other components, these tools make up the semantic web project. ...more on Wikipedia about "Web Ontology Language"
