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?"

    To get an actual working version of this thing, you have to go to the beta news site and then click on any of the story headlines.

    Yes, in a world in which 95% of users can't grasp simple boolean modifiers, such a scheme would surely be a success!
