semantic web

First of all, thanks to Mike for starting up this group. : )

I want to think about this more in the future, but I thought I'd send out an initial ping as something I want to address in Ubercart beginning with Drupal 7. Basically, my question is what is the future of e-commerce in a semantic web? How can e-commerce change and evolve as we move forward?

All:

I've been working with semantic web technologies for about five years now and wanted to engage the drupal community on two issues: a) a set of ontologies that specify the functions of the U.S. Federal government and b) a post I recently published called the state of the semantic web: representation and realism.

The ontologies are based on what's called the Federal Enterprise Architecture and are available here ...

UPDATE: Cancelled - I don't have time to prepare for this :(

This is a BoF discussion that is planned for August 24, 2008 at 15:15 - 16:30 as a part of the FrOSCon conference in Sankt Augustin, Germany.

This BoF discussion will focus on what semantic web tools are available to Drupal, including:

• The RDF framework: http://drupal.org/project/rdf
• The SPARQL module: http://drupal.org/project/sparql
• Neologism: http://code.google.com/p/neologism/

Just read this article - does anyone know more about this Open Kalaif or is it just a reporter in a hurry with a spelling mistake? Did a google search on drupal.org and nothing turned up . .

FOAF, DC, SIOC, SKOS are famous vocabularies commonly used in the Semantic Web. Many other custom vocabularies exist and are created everyday. Vocabularies play an important role in the Semantic Web as they enable interoperability across various RDF data sources, and are used by RDF publisher and consumers who refer to them in their data.

This is a crude abstract, Basically I wish to know if someone can mentor this project and its feasability with taxanomy ..

                      ABSTRACT

hi,

for a first simple support for RDF export, I'd like to point you to http://blog.aksw.org/2008/triplify-expose-semantics/ and http://triplr.org.
I think a quick generic RDF support for nodes will be easy to add.

I also recommend to keep the current node URI scheme and add support for content negotiation as described in [1]. So, if a client sends the request header "Accept: application/rdf+xml", the server just returns an RDF version of a node, otherwise it will get the ordinary HTML version, possible polished up with RDFa or microformat tags...

Regards,
Andy

Today I talked with Thomas Hochhaltinger from ebSemantics, a project of "Smart Information Systems", an Austrian company that developed MyOntology.org a collaborative ontology designing platform with ontologies for consumer electronics goods.
