Abstract

A large scale semantic web, already characterized by thousands of ontologies and millions of RDF documents, is now a reality and this rapidly growing resource is opening the way to a new generation of intelligent applications. In this talk I will show some work we have been doing on building end-user applications which exploit this unprecedented resource. In particular, I will show how large scale semantics can be used to try and enhance typical web-centric activities, such as web browsing, searching for information, and rating and reviewing consumer items.

While most of this work is still at a rather early stage, it already provides evidence that the Semantic Web can be concretely used to bring new functionalities to the users. These positive results also show that it is possible to build intelligent and robust applications, while at the same time doing away with the traditional assumptions in knowledgebased systems, that the available domain knowledge has to be consistent, well-designed and high quality.

Exploiting large-scale semantics on the web
AIMSA'06: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Artificial Intelligence: methodology, Systems, and Applications

There is a lot of evidence indicating that the semantic web is growing very rapidly. For example, an IBM report published last year indicated a 300% increase between 2003 and 2004 and pointed out that the rate of growth of the semantic web is mirroring ...
Exploiting Linked Data to Build Web Applications

Semantic Web technologies have been around for a while. However, such technologies have had little impact on the development of real-world Web applications to date. With linked data, this situation has changed dramatically in the past few months. This ...
Semantic Web End-User Tasks
Interacción '14: Proceedings of the XV International Conference on Human Computer Interaction

In order to make the Semantic Web reach "real world" end-users it is important to take into account Semantic Web usability. We focus our study of Semantic Web user tasks in end-user online applications, trying to contribute to establishing guidelines ...
