Semantic Web Patterns: A Guide to Semantic Technologies
In this article, we'll analyze the trends and technologies that power the Semantic Web. We'll identify patterns that are beginning to emerge, classify the different trends, and peak into what the future holds.
In a recent interview Tim Berners-Lee pointed out that the infrastructure to power the Semantic Web is already here. ReadWriteWeb's founder, Richard MacManus, even picked it to be the number one trend in 2008. And rightly so. Not only are the bits of infrastructure now in place, but we are also seeing startups and larger corporations working hard to deliver end user value on top of this sophisticated set of technologies.
SemanticProxy: Jump-Starting the Semantic Web
While it has great potential, the Semantic Web has failed to live up to its promises so far. Part of the problem, as Thomson Reuters sees it, is that developers will not add a lot of semantic features to their products until publishers start publishing more semantic data. Reuters' OpenCalais represents one way around this problem. But starting today, Reuters' newest project SemanticProxy will give developers an easier way to extract semantic data from any web site.
Hakia Announces Semantic API
Semantic search engine Hakia today announced a set of APIs that opens up their natural language processing and search platform to developers. Hakia's Syndication Web Services really comes in two parts: search queries, which allow developers to add web search functionality leveraging Hakia's five billion page index, and XML feed calls, which give developers access to Hakia's underlying natural language processing technology. The latter of the two is clearly the more compelling of the offerings.
Semantic Feed Reading With FeedzZ
At first glance, the social news aggregation site called FeedzZ appears to nothing more that an Alltop clone with fewer categories. But look again - FeedzZ is actually doing something quite different than Alltop, OriginalSignal, Shyftr, or any other news aggregation web site - it's using the Calais API to offer a semantic component to the feed reading experience. This semantic technology is combined with Digg-like voting buttons and an online feed reader which you can use with your own OPML file, all of which lays the groundwork for a unique feed-reading experience.
Reuters Launches Calais 2.0 - Now With Pop-Culture
Thomson Reuters' Calais, a semantic markup API that we first reviewed in February, has reached its 2.0 release. The latest version aims to fix one of the main issues with Calais -- that it was too focused on business. Because Calais has roots as Clearforest, the rules it applies while parsing text are biased toward the language of business, which meant that its utility was limited. Version 2.0 has added new semantic entity types in an effort to rectify that.

Reuters Open Calais Update: Apps Progress, Interview
A month ago we wrote about Reuters launching an API called Open Calais, a technology that "does a semantic markup on unstructured HTML documents - recognizing people, places, companies, and events." I mentioned Calais in my Media08 presentation last week entitled Web Technology Trends for 2008 and Beyond. It generated interest in the media-focused audience I presented to, so in this post we follow up with Reuters and ask what progress is being made. Specifically we look at what apps have been built so far on Calais and get feedback from Reuters' Tom Tague.
Reuters Wants The World To Be Tagged
As Richard MacManus recently predicted, in 2008 we'll witness the rise of semantic web services. From the native support for Microformats in Firefox 3,
to the New York Times' utilization of rich headers metadata, to this week's release of the Social Graph API by Google,
semantics are starting to slip onto the web. The impact is being felt because large companies are really starting to focus on structured information.
In the same vein, last week Reuters - an international business and financial news giant - launched an API called Open Calais.
