Semantic Web Mashup: Wikipedia-Open_Calais-Goggle-Amazon

Do you want to see the power of Semantic Web  mashup services  ?

Then check this out:

http://kapustar.punkt.at/labs/knowledgelounge.org/?q=Semantic%20Web

This is an experimental mashup service from the Semantic Web Company (Credit goes to Rene Kapusta)

What does it do ?

This prototype  shows how to use semantic based  term extraction and the Amazon API to search for relevant books for a specific topic.

How it works

1. The search input  is send to wikipedia.org
2. The respective wikipedia page is sent to the Open Calais service to extract the terms
3. The extracted terms are sent to google, and get enriched by related terms using the google labs service "google suggest".
4. and last but not least the  terms are sent to the Amazon API and the relevant books from Amazon are displayed

Pretty cool !

EU Kiwi project Semantic Wiki kickoff meeting

I am  attending the EU Kiwi project kickoff meeting in Salzburg Austria

The project KIWI is concerned with knowledge management in Semantic Wikis and funded by the European Commission under the Project Number 211932 in the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). KIWI’s objective is to investigate how knowledge management in highly dynamic environments can be supported using Semantic Wiki technologies, and how Semantic Wikis can be improved to satisfy the requirements of knowledge management. For this purpose, KIWI will

    * implement an advanced knowledge management system based on the Semantic Wiki IkeWiki and extend it by improved, rule-based reasoning support, information extraction, personalisation, and advanced visualisations and editors
    * verify the system on two use cases in the areas of project knowledge management and software knowledge management, with flexible workflow models and specific support for the respective application areas.
