PURL work with Zepheira [OCLC]

PURL work with Zepheira [OCLC]: "The new PURL software will also be updated to reflect the current understanding of Web architecture as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This new software will provide the ability to permanently identify networked information resources, such as Web documents, as well as non-networked resources such as people, organizations, concepts and scientific data. This capability will represent an important step forward in the adoption of a machine-processable 'Web of data' enabled by the Semantic Web."

In this Tech Rising podcast, eWEEK Chief Technology Analyst Jim Rapoza speaks to Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the Web and head of the World Wide Web Consortium, about the current status of the Semantic Web, the challenges it faces and its future. Jim also speaks to Eric Miller, president of Zepheira, a company that helps businesses deploy and leverage Semantic Web technologies, and to Stephen Downes, a researcher at the National Research Council's Institute for Information Technology in Canada, who believes that the Semantic Web will ultimately fail because of proprietary data protections."

IST Project Wide

Project Wide: "WIDE aims to provide a basis for improving the quality and efficiency of innovative product design. The objectives are to investigate and demonstrate the application of emerging IST Project Wide.Semantic Web (SW) technologies and methods in an integrated, scalable and reconfigurable design information support management and knowledge sharing system. The key to improving innovative design lies in better information management and knowledge sharing support of the inter-working of multi-disciplinary design teams. The machine-understandable semantics of information sources, offered by the SW, driven by a general design process ontology (based upon an existing Knowledge Level theory of designing), together with meta data based filtering and presentation techniques, thus form the key components of the information support management and knowledge sharing system to be developed in the project."
