Today Cognition, creator of an already much-discussed natural language processing technology, is announcing release of its new semantic map which is the largest one ever created for English language. For you to imagine the size of the map, it includes more than 10 million semantic connections, over 4 million semantic contexts, more than 536,000 word senses, 75,000 concept classes, 7,500 nodes in the classification scheme, and 506,000 word stems:

It took the scientific team in Cognition 23 years (and over 300 [...]

It may be time for Popular Mechanics to be declared dead. The 468 individuals who Digged the article should hang it up as well. There are really 468 people out there who think that How Social Networking Could Kill Web Search as We Know It is actually news?
The concept of a semantic web was introduced years ago. References to it can be found as far back as 2000, with a more formal definition appearing in a column on O'Reily by [...]

Nothing excites me more than hearing about semantic anything. I'm lazy. I have too many things to read already. And I am tired of trying to sift through tons of review sites where reviews are often incomplete, non-existant, or just plain irrelevant. I was thrilled to hear about Swotti, a new beta site that claims it will do all that sifting work for me, leaving me with a crisp, clean snapshot review of anything I'm looking for.
The reality is that [...]

Marshall Kirkpatrick's Twine review initially set off my post asking what the perception is of an application's status. It also set off a flurry of buzz about Twine, the private beta from the team at Radar Networks.
I took advantage of our outage yesterday to really spend time poking around in Twine, which defines itself as a semantic web application. I always approach anything that claims it can learn anything about me and provide a true semantic experience, but I'm so [...]

The Web 2.0 blogs are abuzz with a Google Labs experiment that no actual person seems to have gotten their hands on yet: a voting mechanism for Google search results. It's been called Digg-styled while others think it's just a way to personalize results.
I don't think it's either one. I think Google realizes that if people didn't want more relevant results, Mahalo would have sunk like a stone already, and that isn't the case. While I've [...]

AdaptiveBlue, the smart browsing company, just announced that SmartLinks for blogs and websites now provide more relevant information from the best sites on the Web. SmartLinks are inserted next to links of supported sites like Yahoo! , CitySearch , Amazon and others. These automatic additions are intelligent contextual shortcuts to related sites and services that allow users to browse and discover more efficiently.
Smartlinks add value and discoverability for visitors to Web sites by intuitively analyzing each link and [...]

Today, at the Web 2.0 Summit, Radar Networks has announced the beta launch of its innovative new semantic web service known as Twine. It is consequentially being touted as the first mainstream Web 3.0 application.
In basic terms, Twine will provide a central hub that connects information from around the web in one location. This includes several different file types, for instance photos, videos, documents, news stories, RSS feeds, bookmarks, contacts or anything.
The concept, developed to provide a “smarter way to [...]

… So what's the 3.0 model? Believe it or not, Rick Rubin knows.
When I first saw the headline for Rick Rubin's comments, I'm pretty sure I laughed out loud and rolled my eyes. But Rubin isn't someone to be scoffed at in the music industry; after all, this is a man who foresaw the popularity of hip-hop and rap. There's a reason an artist like the late Johnny Cash would turn to Rubin for a career boost; the man knows [...]

As Web 2.0 moves more into the Semantic Web, the need to sort and interpret the constant flow of content becomes more and more critical. Social networks seem to grow exponentially every single day, and trying to meet up with people for business or pleasure becomes more difficult when you are searching for people you could realistically meet up with. Enter two new content aggregators who attempt to help you with exactly that task.
YouGetIt is one of these [...]
