Really?

The Rise of the Semantic Web Started with the Blogs

Searching for an Intuitive Internet That Knows What

Is Said- -And Meant!!


Really? Obviously, the Semantic Web did not start from or with the Blogs

Semantic Web evolution: • Built upon the Web 1.0 & 2.0

• User-generated context

• Data linked and can be added to

• Machines can enquiry data

• Machines can understand logic / meaning behind the data


Its all about Semantics!


State of

Mind

In reality.. Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0


AGENDA

• Human Artefacts

• Web Evolution

• Web 2.0 & Blogs

• The Semantic Web

• Threads of Our Lives

• The Great Leap Forward

• Immortality


Human Artefacts

We shape our tools

and afterwards

our tools shape us


Human Evolution

• Layers / Metaphors:

Thinking – Saying – Acting – Creating Tools

Web Versions


Chats, forums, wiki, blogs, etc.

Emails, messages, webinars, Message All, votes, polls, chatbots,

etc..

Online Communities


About Communities…

• Community: a group of people who consciously share a sense of belonging anchored in common interests and enhanced by social interactions.

• Online community: an online social aggregation that emerges when enough people carry on those public discussions long enough to form relationships. Members’ social interactions are facilitated by ICTs.

• Community of Practice (CoP): a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.

• Collaborative e-Learning Community (CeLC): a social aggregation that emerges in online courses when enough people carry on progressive dialogues for the purpose of learning.


Social Networks

About Social Networks

• Social Network: a social structure made up of a set of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and the dyadic ties between these actors (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). Ties can be based on: friendship, common interests, mutual friends, family members, business, dislikes etc.

• Social Network Platform: an other online service focusing on building and creating networks.

• We are: Friends (Facebook), followers (Twitter), readers (Blog), subscribers (YouTube) etc.


Web 2.0

• Effective Online Communication – Time – Distance – Cost

• Cocreation – Engagement – Exchange of Best Practices – Joint Development – Shared Vision

• Sense of Belonging Online – Sense of Community Index


Learning 2.0

• Web 2.0 social and knowledge-based society

• User / Learner Centred Design

• Affordances for tools & learning analytical frameworks

• Learner control in intra-cultural settings

• User-generated context: new skills and competencies (learning autonomy, self-regulation and metacognition)


Pedagogy 2.0

• Pedagogy 2.0 for Life-Long Learning

• New requirements for Web 2.0 bring new learning opportunities in Learning 2.0

• Pedagogical scripts for multiple intelligences

• Social computing and media tools

• Research methods & ethical considerations

• E-tutors as e-moderators: orchestrating learning

• New learning ecologies: formal & informal user-generated contexts & eco-systems

IBM: Thoughts on Cloud

http://thoughtsoncloud.com/


“The Semantic Web is a major research initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to create a metadata-rich Web of resources that can describe themselves not only by how they should be displayed (HTML) or syntactically (XML), but also by the meaning of the metadata.” From W3C Semantic Web Activity Page

“The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.”

Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora Lassila, The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001

DANGER!!

'DANGER! I don't like your face 'cuz I don't like what it's saying'.


Tim Mazur

• Setting up a 'semantic web' of idioms & aphorisms (to be updated/added to from user intranet). This is for military, security, gaming & education based software to detect emotion/character & intent.

eLearning + Social Semantic Web • Enhanced and adaptive learning

• Collaborative semantic-rich learning environment

• Students collaborative tags contribute to ontology and teacher-directed personalised feedback

• Metadata linked with e-learning resources for e-learning customization

• Adaptive composing new learning materials

• Resources become accessible to all

• Resources can be easily reused and linked together into meaningful clusters

• Adaptive Learning Pedagogical Planners

eLearning Advantages


• Enhanced reasoning and optimal management of learning material

• Ontology based e-learning can allow adding management aspects

• Linearized and fed unique responses based on the connection with the respective user

• Responsive learning design

• -to name a few..
