<philosophy>


fancy Web sites are nice


but


are they really accessible?


peer review and quality of data are important things


except the notion of “quality” changes over time and space and culture and...


just a few examples...


O re, questa conoscenza (mathema) renderà gli egiziani più sapienti e più dotati di memoria: infatti ho scoperto un pharmakon per la sapienza e la memoria. - E il re rispose: - Espertissimo (technikotate) Theuth, una cosa è esser capaci di mettere al mondo quanto concerne una techne, un'altra saper giudicare quale sarà l'utilità e il danno che comporterà agli utenti; e ora tu, padre delle lettere, hai attribuito loro per benevolenza il contrario del loro vero effetto. Infatti esse produrranno dimenticanza (lethe) nelle anime di chi impara

“ “Plato, Phaedrusmyth of Theuth


My boss allowed me to do it* in my spare time...

* the Web!


Researchers are not any more only in the academia*

* See also recent speeches of EU Commissioner M. Quinn and Europe 2020 strategydomenica 10 ottobre 2010

research is not done anymore only here



researchers are all around us


so


if we want to advance human knowledge (our mission?)


we can’t anymore


keep data hidden in our hard disks


nor


in our fancy websites with TEI-aware, user-daptive, context-sensitive, whatever search engines


we must allow


people (and the next generations) to freely re-use, re-think, re-mix the knowledge we encoded into machines


possibly lots of people


Internet users

in Europe:402.380.474 (~50%)

in the world:1.668.870.408

average growth from 2000 to 2009:362.3%


so we can’t hide data because


data is less valuable when it’s siloed

your web site


value is in


context


linking


someone understood this and...


Eureka!


in the nineties he built the Web


but it didn’t work like he imagined



it became a Web of Documents meant for Human consumption (only)


machines had no way of understading


that two documents talk about the same “thing”


semantics is hidden, only human readers can extract it from documents


machines are helpless


unless...


we use very simple ways (don’t forget they are stupid) of telling them what we are talking about

cites<internet,

arts & humanities>

<open access,e-publishing>


this is what the Semantic Web (and Linked Data, and the Web of Data) is all about.

Forget Articifial Intelligence! It has nothing to do with this!


Web of Documents Web 1.0 Hidden semantics, no access to data

Social Web Web 2.0 Hidden semantics, partial access to data,1-to-1 Interoperability

Web of Data Web 3.0 Explicit semantics, full access to data, global Interoperability


Different Models of Collaboration

We write, We publish

You write, you publish, we mix

Web 2.0

Web 3.0

We publish, you write

Web 1.0


the Web as a huge, unique, distributed database


it’s growing fast

today we have more than 15 billions triples*

* Atomic “bits of information” in the semantic web.domenica 10 ottobre 2010

what for?


to let other people use our data in new an unanticipated ways


to let them do research, develop applications and mash-ups, play, do business...


the web is becoming a huge distributed global database with a lot of different ways (Interfaces, applications ...) to

access it


we want to be part of it


yes we can!*

them on the Semantic Web.

From: Alice BrownSubject: I think I’ll win the nobel prize

Hi Michele,I think I’ve done a couple of exceptional discoveries about inslamic art on that manuscript we were working on.

Check, them out, I’ve published my SwickyNotebook on my blog:http://xxx.xxx.xxx/maratea/notebook.rdf

Ciao,Alice
