Yes, it does already have a name and we’re already wondering how best to avoid it. Meta-tags have been rendered untrustworthy because of dishonest manipulation (honest manipulation is ok), especially the keywords tag which is pretty much useless now. Search engines depend on a wide variety of[...]

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[...]

Can gibberish rank? Why Certainly.
We could argue until the cows came home as which 2 main elements of SEO were the core components. I’ll cut to the chase and ask you to consider content and links alone this time round. They are (arguably) the most important two variables present in the SEO diagram at this time. It makes sense[...]

Lisp & the Semantic Web
There are a number of new formats and languages that have sprung up with the semantic web in the last few years. LISP (LISt Processing) however is not a new language by any means but seems to have found a new role in the new web. I have and sometimes do program in Lisp because a [...][...]

Large-scale industrial semantic web application
I am often asked what the point of the semantic web is and also how people can implement it and be a part of it through their websites. I came across this paper and thought it was an excellent example of the big picture. Wong, Crowder and Shadbolt wrote “Lesson Learnt from a Large-Scale Indus[...]

15 conferences to watch
It’s important to stay in touch with what’s happening in your area of research and also those related to your area. If you have time it’s also nice to dip into the sort of thing you would normally have nothing to do with like graphics in my case for example. It’s good becaus[...]

Is it really a URL?
I thought it might be a nice idea to go over what the different identifiers on the web were. Tim Berners-Lee recently showed some exasperation at us all calling everything “URL”. With the the Semantic Web gaining momentum, it’s even more important to start calling things by their [...]
