Untangling Web Information

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-don't-understand-you dept.

Ostracus writes "The next big stage in the evolution of the Internet, according to many experts and luminaries, will be the advent of the Semantic Web — that is, technologies that let computers process the meaning of Web pages instead of simply downloading or serving them up blindly. Microsoft's acquisition of the semantic search engine Powerset earlier this year shows faith in this vision. But thus far, little Semantic Web technology has been available to the general public. That's why many eyes will be on Twine, a Web organizer based on semantic technology that launches publicly today."

      I think you got that backwards... I miss 1999 and want it to come back.

    It works like a charm. I entered "parsing" as an area of interest and it came back with "Beer"...

    I was quite surprised by how quickly it understood me and my interests based on such a limited amount of information :-)
