Semantic Blogging: Spreading the Semantic Web Meme by Steve Cayzer http://snipurl.com/66yj
Steve is a research engineer at Hewlett-Packard's (HP) laboratories in Bristol, England. He is interested in the intersection of semantic web technologies and machine learning techniques, such as automated classification and metadata enrichment. He also has a semantic blog. This paper is about semantic blogging, an application of the semantic web to blogging. The semantic web promises to make the web more useful by endowing metadata with machine processable semantics. Blogging is a lightweight web publishing paradigm which provides a very low barrier to entry, useful syndication and aggregation behaviour, a simple to understand structure and decentralized construction of a rich information network. Semantic blogging builds upon the success and clear network value of blogging by adding additional semantic structure to items shared over the blog channels. In this way we add significant value allowing view, navigation and query along semantic rather than simply chronological or serendipitous connections. Our vision is to use semantic web tools and ideas to help move blogging beyond communal diary browsing to rich information sharing scenarios. We have built a simple prototype as an illustration of this vision. This has been added to the Semantic Web Research section of the Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
