SD Times - ITerating Weaves a Semantic Web

SD Times - ITerating Weaves a Semantic Web: "There are more than 100,000 open source projects hosted on SourceForge.net, and SourceForge is not a world onto itself: Web sites describe, link to and review software hosted in its repository. In that vein, how can information about those projects be kept accurate and up to date?

Dedicated individuals could spend countless hours carefully categorizing software and paging through change logs, describing software their own way for their own organization; islands of information about software can already be found across the Web.

ITerating, a startup that hosts a wiki-based software guide, thinks it has a better solution born out of so-called “Semantic Web” technologies. On Aug. 27, ITerating launched a free Semantic Web service that shares data about software with other Web sites, using standardized vocabularies."
