Detecting Conflict-Of-Interest on the Semantic Web

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the smoothing-things-out dept.

CexpTretical writes "At the 15th International WWW Conference in Edinburgh Scotland, Refereed Track on Semantic Web accepted many thorough and interesting academic papers on semantic web research on subjects related to where the Web is in the Semantic Web? One such paper nominated for Best Paper Award, Semantic Analytics on Social Networks: Experiences in Addressing the Problem of Conflict of Interest Detection hits on the whole subject of validation and/or verification in the brave world of so called "Web 3.0" topologies/frameworks/architectures. The paper describes a "Semantic Web application that detects Conflict of Interest (COI) relationships"."

    Perhaps the harder problem is detecting any interest in the Semantic Web.

    Calling it a conflict-of-interest is really a matter of semantics. The conflict arises when people see the words semantic web. They are someowhat interested but but are conflicted in not admitting they don't know what the word semantics means and are too embarrassed to look it up.

    That comment was pure Web 4.0. The oblique referential web.

    I think anyone who uses the word "web" followed or suceeded by anything other than "world-wide" or "spider" deserves a cock-punch.
