Talk:Semantic Web

From Academic Kids

First, since this (the Semantic Web type stuff) is my mind candy of the moment, I decided to see if I could explain it. I have no idea how well this communicates in general. I believe the previous version was more succinct, but I do believe it left a lot out of the details of why and what.

Anyway, this is my first actual contribution, so I'm open to suggestions/gripes. -- StWeasel

Lead

The lead paragraph needs work --I dont understand the "Berners Lee advocates it but it..." part. 戴&#30505sv 23:52, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)



Made some clarity edits to paragraphs 1-4.

I'm troubled by the passage "... particularly, in XHTML interspersed with XML, or, more often, purely in XML ..."

XHTML is subset to XML. Specifically, XHTML is HTML held to XML well-formedness strictures. I don't think there's such thing as XHTML interspersed with XML. XHTML is XML, or it isn't XHTML.

But enough for one day.

Yeah, I wrote that. I was just trying to provide a variety of examples of where the semantic data can live, lest someone think it has to all be in one place. I'm not married to the current phrasing. - mjb 22:35, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Chinese Interwiki

Why is the Chinese Interwiki link showing up in the main article space? RickK 03:17, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Very interesting stuff, there is an article describing the semantic web here:

http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5156243.html?tag=zdfd.newsfeed

Perhaps taking some facts from this article and explaining them in this wikientry would be good.--ShaunMacPherson 09:20, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia categories

Wikipedia categories look like a real-life application of semantic Web ideas, without relations labelling (provided by RDF). Oobserve the outcome of the experience will be interesting. Marc Mongenet 14:27, 2004 Jun 30 (UTC)

Well, it is just a very limited application of Semantic Web ideas. The Semantic Web is not just about meta data. --zeno 02:00, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Components of the Semantic Web

Overall a good technical article but I'm concerned that much of this paragraph (Components of the Semantic Web) is lifted word-for-word from the copyrighted W3C page (http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-features/)... Could it be rewritten? (I don't know enough to really rephrase it at all well, unfortunately)
