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.

Imagine PR on drugs.
That's what they were getting at... I think.

You're only jealous cos the little penguins are talking to me.
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.

Fair comment - we ARE a bunch of pissheads. (So would you be if you had to put up with British women).
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.
