The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the word semantic stands for the meaning of. The semantic of something is the meaning of something. The Semantic Web or Web 2.0 or Web3.0 is a “Web of data” that enables machines to understand the semantics or meaning. Of information on the World Wide Web. It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other. Enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users. The term was coined by Tim Beemers-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium. Which oversees the development of the proposal Semantic Web standards? He defines the Semantic Web as “a web of data that can be processed directly and
indirectly by machines.”

Presentation about - Semantic Web - Overview -Semantic Web
Web of Data, Giant Global Graph, Data Web, Web 3.0, Linked Data Web, Semantic Data Web, Enterprise Information Web, HTML, CSS,
The present society is considered an information society. A society where the creation, distribution, use, integration, and manipulation of digital information have become the most significant activity in all aspects. Information is producing from every sector of any society, which has resulted in an information explosion. Modern technologies are also having a huge impact. So managing this voluminous information is really a tough job. Again WWW has opened the door to connect anyone or anything within a fraction of a second. This study discussed the Semantic Web and linked data technologies and their effect and application to libraries for the handling of various types of resources.
http://www.inforum.cz/en/
This presentation provides an overview of causes why library and information services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, but in fact also for companies and organisations. A focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them to come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for your organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of (library) information systems is required to deliver your services and resources at the place of need. A simple short-term solution like a QuickSearch Library Toolbar is explained, several other tools to “enrich” the user’s personal search environment, as well as the more long-term ongoing work at the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.
This is an older presentation given in 2009. The goal was to advocate for the adoption of microformats to improve markup, SEO positioning, and modularize web development. The talk was first given at local user groups: Refresh Hampton Roads and the Web Usability and Standards User Group. Later, I gave the workshop to an internal audience: the UI Engineering team and, later, to a UI/UX Future Group

This presentation was given at the First Philosophy and Web conference in 2010. After describing the issues in the Social Networking space, the presentation moves from a presentation of Web Architecture and it's relation to Philosophy to show how the current problems are philsophical as well as technical and to point out that the way out has been available for all to see. Discussions on this can now take place on the W3C PhiloWeb Community Groups: http://www.w3.org/community/philoweb/
This talk describes how by combining RDF LinkedData standards from the W3C and the TLS protocol from the IETF, using the work by the WebID Incubator Group at the W3C one can create a global institutional decentralised Web Of Trust to power and secure commercial transactions.

Semantic Annotation: The Mainstay of Semantic WebEditor IJCATR
Given that semantic Web realization is based on the critical mass of metadata accessibility and the representation of data with formal
knowledge, it needs to generate metadata that is specific, easy to understand and well-defined. However, semantic annotation of the
web documents is the successful way to make the Semantic Web vision a reality. This paper introduces the Semantic Web and its
vision (stack layers) with regard to some concept definitions that helps the understanding of semantic annotation. Additionally, this
paper introduces the semantic annotation categories, tools, domains and models
Today’s software systems have a much shorter life span than other engineering artifacts. Code is brittle and system architectures are rigid and not robust to change. With the Web an alternative model of computing has taken shape, a model that allows for change on a small scale inside of a complex and large-scale system. The core abstraction behind the Web can be applied to the design of software systems. The abstraction in Resource Oriented Computing generalizes the Web abstraction to enable the most adaptable software systems and architectures that evolve with change.
The Semantic Web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers. Although there is great exploitable potential, we are still in "Generation Zero'' of the Semantic Web, since there are few real-world compelling applications. The heterogeneity, the volume of data and the lack of standards are problems that could be addressed through some nature inspired methods. The paper presents the most important aspects of the Semantic Web, as well as its biggest issues; it then describes some methods inspired from nature - genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, swarm intelligence, and the way these techniques can be used to deal with Semantic Web problems.
Semantic - Based Querying Using Ontology in Relational Database of Library Ma...dannyijwest
The traditional Web stores huge amount of data in the form of Relational Databases (RDB) as it is good at
storing objects and relationships between them. Relational Databases are dynamic in nature which allows
bringing tables together helping user to search for related material across multiple tables. RDB are
scalable to expand as the data grows. The RDB uses a Structured Query Language called SQL to access
the databases for several data retrieval purposes. As the world is moving today from the Syntactic form to
Semantic form and the Web is also taking its new form of Semantic Web. The Structured Query of the RDB
on web can be a Semantic Query on Semantic Web.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

From Linked Documentary Resources to Linked Computational Resources
1. From linked documentary resources to
linked computational resources
Alexandre Monnin (Paris 1, IRI, INRIA) , Nicolas
Delaforge (INRIA), Fabien Gandon (INRIA)
April 17, PhiloWeb 2012, WWW2012, Lyon, France
2. Goal.
We wish to demonstrate that it is possible to
account for the putative transition between a
Web of document towards a Web of
applications strictly from an architectural point
of view.
4. Assumption: Blogic is
right 1/1.
"<can-of-worms> Note, this is about what URIs refer to
when used as logical names, not what they "identify" when
used by HTTP. These are two quite distinct ideas. Typically
(not always) a URI identifies some (source of) data about
what it refers to. </can-of-worms>"
(Pat Hayes)
5. Assumption: Blogic is
right 2/2.
Two visions. Blogic and RDF as it is (aka the Semantic
Web?)
- The Web comes first
- We deal with HTTP URIs
- Resources vs representations
- RDF
- We deal with URIs as proper names
- Meaning of URIs
6. Two approaches, not two
Webs
- The RDF is one take on the Web, a model,
not as complex as reality.
- "Death by layers": but look, we got those
layers already so we should think about
them! How they relate to the Web (theory of
assemblages).
8. Resources (my - AM -
take)
- Resources aren't things out there : you don't
need to previously check a thing exists in the
physical or scientific sense of the word to
identify a resource.
- Cannot be accessed, we all know that
("shadows", if that is not a means without an
end what is it ! Anything at all...).
- The resource is what bears on the
representations, what explains why there were
picked up.
9. In REST (birthplace)
Three things:
1. Resource
2. The states of a resource
3. The representational states of the resource
1. Rule
2. Application of the rule
3. Representation of that result
10. Resources are anything,
but also...
" (...) the semantics of what an author identfies".
(Fielding and Taylor 2002)
Just an author ?
In Webarch this idea seems to come from Kripke's idea of
baptism. There would lot to say but let's not discus this
now.
Let's rather find out if what we need is such a model of
authorship.
11. Micro, meso, macro.
The micro level focuses on the resource itself and its inner
mechanisms.
The meso level is about relations and interactions between
computational resources.
The macro level highlights the causal relations between an
editorial policy of a publisher and the way he manages
his web resources
12.
13.
14. Micro. More clients.
Many more devices are becoming clients.
"Web servers were originally designed to propose "filesystem like" remote
services. Since the common gateway interfaces (CGI) their structure have
become increasingly complex. Nowadays, servers are able to negotiate with
clients to adjust the response so that most of the content is generated on the
fly. Any Web server is also compatible with at least one programing language
that can trigger the processing of very sophisticated tasks that sometimes
involve other remote services."
15. Micro. Break the causal
relation.
"One of the defined rationale behind documentary
resources is that people have tried to preserve the
causal relation between a reference and an
informational content, because it was constitutive of all
our "real world" documentary reference systems. The
evolution from documentary resource to computational
resource made more obvious that this artificially
preserved causal relation had been broken."
16. Micro. Conclusion.
The documentary location has been replaced by a locus of
computation, a space of invocation.
CGI and REST have turn URL into RPC passing
parameters to scripts or web services. Now everything is
(and has always been in a sense) URI which are
identifying protean resources that can turn themselves in
any format required by the client. Such are the
computational resources.
17. Micro to macro.
As said before, a resource is a formal translation of a
publishing rule but these rules can change, the
implementation can evolve to match a new technological
context, a bug can be fixed, a database can be updated
with fresh data. There are many reasons for Web
representations to change and that is the true
communication power of the Web, an editor can instantly
adapt the whole editorial chain synchronously with any
informational/technological activity.
18. Meso
Through HTTP, any computational resource is likely to
refer to other resources or to communicate with them
E.g.:
• Web services composition and orchestration
• Web Data transformations and Mashup
More than ever, resources are related to each other and
can be nested to create original compositions. Thus,
qualifying the Web as an hypertext seems a little bit
outdated so we would rather talk about hyperprocess.
19. Macro. Many more roles!
1/2
This seems to become clearer everyday.
The authorship model was maybe related to the
"documentary Web". A Web of addresses
and static documents. Not that it ever was
like that but it is the way it looked like and
was thought of and used.
20. Macro. Many more roles
2/2
Too many to mention but a few:
• URI "minter"
• Resource definer?
• Resource publisher
• Service provider
• Information architects
• etc.
24. Macro. Computational
commitment.
On the other hand, it is more and more difficult for
publishers to ensure a good quality of service throughout
the processing chain. The technological stack and the
processes involved in publishing a resource have become
so complex and so distributed that it is becoming harder
and harder to ensure a strict editorial commitment because
as the Web grows in diversity, this commitment has turned
into a computational one.
25.
26. Macro. Many more rules
(1/2).
The resource is not the only rule : how individual resources
are distinguished from one another depends on a
publishing commitments. Other rules, more or less
implicit.
In other words, Web resources are often published as part
of bigger resource sets, that have in common to be named
and managed by the same publisher.
27. Macro. Many more rules
(2/2).
We consider that an editorial policy can be summarized as a structured
rule set. Some of these rules are generic, some others are specific
and can inherit or be related to broader ones. From this, we assert
that any Web resource formally expresses one of these publishing
rules. In other words, a Web resource is situated at the intersection
of a number of publishing rules.
A URI then gives access to a representational state that is the result of
this intersection and its closure, while it only identifies the most
specific rule involved in generating the aforementioned
representational state.
28. Macro: editorial
commitment.
From the societal point of view, content publishers whose
main activity was to produce content and to guarantee the
quality of information now have to deal with various new
constraints owing to the specificity of the medium.
29. Conclusion.
The architecture of the Web of data and the models of the Semantic
Web may provide a way to match the diversity of online resources by
means of a framework of metadata designed to annotate Web
resources and exploit the semantics of their schemas to process them
intelligently.
Metadata and their schemas could be the keystone of the new
resource-centric Web applications, their integration and interoperability.
It is conceivable that tomorrow, he who controls metadata on the Web,
controls Web resources, and through them a lot of things.
