University Launches Semantic Web Interface
kv9 writes "The University of Southampton has launched a new semantic web interface, called mSpace, that it says will make searching for information online, and learning about a subject, much easier. mSpace is a framework that gathers information sources and presents them to the user in a single window. It can potentially be applied to any subject, provided the basic information is available. The researchers say this means users will no longer have to wade through lists of undifferentiated data when researching a subject."
Imagine more than PR.
Imaging better drugs.
Imagine PR on drugs.
That's what they were getting at... I think.
Justin.
You're only jealous cos the little penguins are talking to me.
You think that's hard? Try some of these random things to imagine together:
Imagine Google on Pickle
Imagine Google on Mustard
Imagine Sandwich on iTunes
Well, I think my subconcious has spoken... time for lunch!
Oh, it's not a company, it's a *UNIVERSITY* (The University of Southampton, to be exact) -- that explains why they didn't get the memo.

If the woman in the pictures is representative of the "beautiful" women from the UK mentioned by the poster of the "TV download" article, then I think its proof that the Brits are a bunch of drunks.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
Imagine there's no Google
It's easy if you try
All the good stuff is below
The crap above makes you cry
Imagine all the people
Longing for the day...

I mean, we all know there's only one location in England, right? Er, Britain. Or is it the UK? Mebbe I'm thinking of the Commonwealth.
Anyway, those = London
France = Paris
Germany = Berlin
"Here" = Michigan?
I don't read ACs: If a post isn't worth so much as a nom de plume to its author then I wont bother either.
The great thing about standards, though, is that there are so many to choose from.
Microsoft developed their own, and decided to frame their browser around it. What's wrong with that? I thought choice was a good thing.
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
In response to the various snarky comments above, it is indeed innovative to apply a known user interface paradigm to a novel data source.
I, for one, welcome our new 3-pane semantic browser overlords.
"Google on iTunes"
well. you'd pay per search. and then they'd come with drm. but you could print them out and scan them in so apparently it wouldn't be a biggie..
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
I did a Google on ITunes and I got 8,430,000 hits.
Marketing speak sucks.
