A somewhat other Semantic Web introducti...

The most enjoyable and understandable introduction to the Semantic Web I came across for ages was given by Stefano Mazzocchi at the ApacheCON 2007:

A no-nonsense introduction to "semantic web" technologies

The so-called "Semantic Web" is a vision for an evolution of the web where web sites expose data not only for direct human consumption (as it is mostly the case today) but also for specific software agents to consume, aggregate and enrich on behalf of humans. In this presentation, I will show an outline of this vision, together with a simple and concise description of each W3C recommendation (such as RDF, OWL and SPARQL) that are involved and how they are supposed to work together. I will also show the differences and similarities between this and other models for purer-data interchange on the web (such as "web 2.0" and "atom/rss") and will demo existing solution that are based on semantic web technologies.

Just browsed through flickr's services, and found:

This nice litte gadget allows for retrieving photos by either sketching them or uploading a reference image. Fun, fast, and addictive ;)

Two new RDFa applications are available:

Ben has announced a new Bookmarklets and RDFa Web Clipboard;
I've put an alpha version of a FOAF-RDFa generator, called FOAFr, online.

Check it out ;)

Jena now has got GRDDL support

Want to use legacy HTML on the Web or don't care about migrating to RDF? Use GRDDL! And the best is: Now, Jena can assist you in writing software that does all the GRDDL stuff for you:
