3 Semantic Web Chrome Extensions

I’m always on the lookout for some useful browser extensions to make my life a little easier. My favourite browser is Chrome because it’s fast, clean and stable. Now that extensions are available, it makes sense to compile a little list of useful ones for the semantic web. There aren[...]

NY Times RDF

The New York Times has announced that it has made available RDF documents for us to use. They use 30,000 tags to power their Times Topics Pages and they intend to make them all available. They’ve also created a Google groups community for people to give feedback and share their experience wit[...]

7 Semantic web FireFox extensions

I’ve been using some add-ons for FireFox that enable me to investigate semantic mark-upon any given page if there is any on there. It’s good because it means I can begin to see which sites are all out on Semantic web and which ones aren’t yet. I’m definitely seeing a move t[...]
