The Semantic WebA new form of Web content that is meaningful to computers will
unleash a revolution of new possibilitiesBy Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila
May 17, 2001
What is the Semantic Web trying to accomplish?
It is trying to enable the exchange of data between people and/or machines.
Semantic Web Layer Cake

Resource Description Framework (RDF)

Linked Data Platform (LDP)
Create a RESTful style of accessing, adding, updating, and deleting RDF data
Web Ontology Language (OWL)
• Defines a particular domain of knowledge• Define relationships between predicates• Can limit domain and range of relationships• Enables inferencing of new data based on ontologies and known assertions
• The Nation Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://www.bioontology.org/)• The Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (http://www.obofoundry.org/)
Linked Data
Semantic Web in the Wild
VIVO
A web database of researchers and educators containing their publications, research interests, grants, presentations, and courses
Development was funded by a 12.2 million dollar stimulus grant from NIH
Created by Cornell, Indiana, University of Florida, Washington University in St. Louis, Weill Medical College, The Scripps Research Institute, Ponce School of Medicine - Puerto Rico

schema.org
Who is using schema.org? (Good Relations)
GoogleYahoo!BestBuySears (15 Million items)Kmart (250,000 items)and 10,000 more:http://www.heppnetz.de/projects/goodrelations/
Who is else is using the SemWeb Tech?
Pretty much every webpage on the BBC website (heard of them?) now hits an RDF triple-store. Examples: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/developers, http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/feedsanddata, 60.000(!) BBC news items annotated with RDF (http://www.ontoba.com/blog/bbc-news-labs), etc.
NXP is one of the world's biggest makers of microprocessors (4.3b$). On data.nxp.com they have data on 26.000(!) products, internal triplestore (Dydra, 250K entitles, 2.5m triples) to drive a website, this is externally available, to make it part of a broader ecosystem.

http://www.w3.org/blog/hcls/The mission of the Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLS IG) is to develop, advocate for, and support the use of Semantic Web technologies across health care, life sciences, clinical research and translational medicine. These domains stand to gain tremendous benefit from intra- and inter-domain application of Semantic Web technologies as they depend on the interoperability of information from many disciplines.
