Semantic Web - Why Do We Need It?
What is Semantic Web? Why do we need it? What can we do with it? This cool video (about 7 minutes) offers the simplest description and covers a few aspects of the semantic web. We need more of these.
- Semantic Web is a layer on the existing web
- By adding additional data (referred to as metadata), applications can derive more meaningful data from the web
- It is a way to connect people and data
Eyal Oren also talks about the project he is working on - Semantic Desktop. Most of the semantic web description focuses on how it works, the underlying technologies (like RDF, OWL). It is nice to have a video where you get a non-technical explanation of what it is and what you can get out of it. Hope DERI will produce more of these videos.
