C|Net Integrates Ontology Viewer Into News Site

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the ontology-begets-phylogeny dept.

ikewillis writes "The new beta version of news.com now features an integrated ontology viewer developed in collaboration with LivePlasma who appears to have built a large ontology for music and movies. While they don't appear to provide direct access to the ontological data using semantic web formats like OWL and RDF, it's the first time I've ever seen web ontologies used on such a high profile site. How long until we can expect web ontology viewers (and semantic web integration) for sites like Wikipedia?"

    I've been working for months on my colostomy viewer website! They stole my idea and just changed a couple of letters! Once again it's the big guy beating up the little guy!

    And now I'm sitting here with a room full of sticky webcams!

    I guess I just came at this from the wrong angle.

    let's take a bet. I'm sure we will see a full semantic web worldwide implementation before we see any AI mainstream succes

    I'll take the side bet: you'll both be dead before either one happens.
