The SIOC initiative (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) aims to enable the integration of online community information. SIOC provides a Semantic Web ontology for representing rich data from the Social Web in RDF. It has recently achieved significant adoption through its usage in a variety of commercial and open-source software applications, and is commonly used in conjunction with the FOAF vocabulary for expressing personal profile and social networking information. By becoming a standard way for expressing user-generated content from such sites, SIOC enables new kinds of usage scenarios for online community site data, and allows innovative semantic applications to be built on top of the existing Social Web. The SIOC ontology was recently published as a W3C Member Submission, which was submitted by 16 organisations.
Our goal is to develop a probabilistic knowledge base that mirrors the content of the web. We are developing a system that uses semi-supervised learning methods to learn to extract symbolic knowledge from unstructured text and HTML. We are exploring methods of continous learning, where our system runs 24x7, continuously learning to read better, and continuously extracting facts from the web.
The BBOP, located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, is a diverse group of scientific researchers and software engineers dedicated to developing tools and applying computational technologies to solve biological problems. Members of the group contribute to a number of projects, including the Gene Ontology, the National Center for Biomedical Ontology, and the Generic Model Organism Database Project.
SIMILE is focused on developing robust, open source tools based on Semantic Web technologies that improve access, management and reuse among digital assets. Learn more about the SIMILE project.
