TRANSCRIPT

Why the Semantic Web hasn't failed, and how we shouldn't fix it

David Millard

Learning Societies LabUniversity of Southampton

The Infamous Layer Cake

The Semantic Web will…

"...open up the knowledge and workings of humankind to meaningful analysis by software agents, providing a new class of tools by which we can live, work and learn together."

The Semantic Web , Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila, Scientic American, May 2001

A Machine Readable Web

Sound familiar?

How do we do it?

Be a Semantic Extrovert!

Use Popular Ontologies (e.g. FOAF, SKOS)

Promote RDF REST Interfaces

Why should you do it?

Capturing Folksonomies?

Mapping Ontologies Automatically?

Because Web Literacy is changing e-learning

Building Brick by Yellow Brick

Build on existing practise

Demonstrate real advantage without real sacrifice
