The Semantic Web is Alive and Well

Submitted by Stephen Kelley on Tue, 11/04/2008 - 12:44

I started poking around with Drupal's RDF module last night and ended up staying up VERY late. RDF is one of the languages supporting the semantic web and the semantic web may be, or already is depending on your view, the next great thing on the Internet. The idea of the semantic web is to leverage all the content on the web as structured, meaningful data. This would enable automated systems to search and process this data with reference to its meaning rather than just a mass of unstructured text.

When last I looked at what was going on with the semantic web a few years ago, there were not many tools to work with. There are some very good tools now available. For example:

Drupal RDF

Yahoo SearchMonkey

MIT SIMILE

DBpedia

I'll have to make time to play more with this!

Your true home is in nothingness, in emptiness of all content. You face it most cheerfully when you go to sleep! Find out for yourself the state of wakeful sleep and you will find it quite in harmony with your real nature. Words can only give you the idea, and the idea is not the experience. All I can say is that true happiness has no cause, and what has no cause is immovable. Which does not mean it is perceivable, as pleasure. What is perceivable is pain and pleasure; the state of freedom from sorrow can be described only negatively.
