Following a previous trend, Semantic Web was an important
topic of the WWW 2007 conference I attended
last month. With 16 papers on a total of 111, it is the second most important
track, after the search track (20 papers) and before the data mining one (14
papers).
One of the trends for this field is really to "make the Semantic Web real" and several
presentations were going in this direction.
Besides this point, the various
efforts to climb the layer cake seem
to be more intensive and Rules are becoming integral part of the Semantic Web.
Another is some
convergence with web 2.0, and the seamless integration of SW technologies to
HTML thru Microformats, RDFa, eRDF which will push its adoption.
For a complete feedback, have a look to the Ivan Herman's blog (Day 1,
2,
3,
4).
Also, you can directly have a look to some of the various
project presented : Exhibit
to build a website with faceted-search in few minutes, SW to answer scientific questions, Yago
(Yet Another Great Ontology) combining Wikipedia, Wordnet analysis with a
SPARQL endpoint or DBPedia to query wikipedia
like a database.
Speaking about "make the Semantic Web real", he also just
published a set of SW use cases. In these
slides, there are many examples of real applications based on semantic web
in real companies, belonging to various industries. If you still wonder how to
use the SW in the real word, don't miss this presentation!
