Semantic Web apps on the rise

http://ablvienna.wordpress.com/category/semantic-web/

The above link may not lead to a blog about semantic web design, but it may be just as crucial to the subject. It’s important to know all you can know about what you’re designing for. That way you can have a better grasp on how to design your page in the simplest and easiest to read format. But what about those hard to find subjects.

When it comes to interactive media, finding information of any use can be a bit tough. Google may be good, but it can’t get everything. Blogs seem to be the way to go, but if you’re not too big on blogging or have a hard time finding the right information in blogs, some new semantic web apps might be of some use to you.

The 3 applications mentioned in the above link, include Twine, Talis, and Clearforest (each of which were taken from Read/WriteWeb). Based on the information given, I’d say Twine is the most appealing to me. It’s sort of like combining wikipedia, rss feeds, and facebook. While it’s still in private testing, it sounds very promising because, even if their is only a small user group, it’ll grow rapidly as long as anybody remains dedicated. That’s what I happen to think.

  1. Krista from the ClearForest / Calais team here — thanks for including us in your list.

    I just wanted to clarify that we offer s Semantic Web service and API called Calais (as well as a browser plugin and extraction tools for WordPress and Yahoo! SearchMonkey).

    The free and open Calais API and developer community can be found at OpenCalais.com

    Thanks,
