Semantic Exchange
arrives Q3/2008
Web 3.0 is the next phase of internet evolution. It uses semantic technologies to cope with challenges of scale, complexity, security, and mobility, as well as provide intelligent, rich media interaction and autonomous behavior that make our experience of internet more relevant, useful, enjoyable (and profitable). This shift from information-centric to knowledge-centric patterns of computing and communication will fuel billion-dollar technology markets and trillion-dollar economic expansions worldwide over the next decade.
Semantic Exchange is a collaborative industry news, research, and education initiative about all things web 3.0 and semantic web. The website is part community wiki, part internet magazine, part semantic technology sandbox, and part knowledge outfitter. Whether you are a newcomer to semantic technologies or already have experience with them, the goal of Semantic Exchange is to help you better keep up with the rapid pace of technology and infrastructure development, connect with the people and companies making the next stage of the internet happen, and understand the breadth of applications across consumer and enterprise industry sectors. Partners the program include industry-leading companies:
infrastructure for knowledge management. Semantic framework
integrates subject and process ontologies with business rules to deliver
intelligent e-forms, knowledge bases over heterogeneous information sources,
advisory services, auto-classification, decision trees, calculators,
and semantic search and navigation.
