fancy Web sites are nice


but


are they really accessible?


peer review and quality of data are important things


except the notion of “quality” changes over time and
space and culture and...


just a few examples...


“ O re, questa conoscenza (mathema) renderà gli egiziani più
sapienti e più dotati di memoria: infatti ho scoperto un
pharmakon per la sapienza e la memoria. - E il re rispose: -
Espertissimo (technikotate) Theuth, una cosa è esser capaci di
mettere al mondo quanto concerne una techne, un'altra saper
giudicare quale sarà l'utilità e il danno che comporterà agli
utenti; e ora tu, padre delle lettere, hai attribuito loro per
“
benevolenza il contrario del loro vero effetto. Infatti esse
produrranno dimenticanza (lethe) nelle anime di chi impara

Plato, Phaedrus
myth of Theuth


My boss allowed me to
do it* in my spare time...

* the Web!


Researchers are not any more only in the academia*

* See also recent speeches of EU Commissioner M. Quinn and Europe 2020 strategy

research is not done anymore only here


researchers are all around us


so


if we want to advance human knowledge (our mission?)


we can’t anymore


keep data hidden in our hard disks


nor


in our fancy websites with TEI-aware, user-daptive,
context-sensitive, whatever search engines


we must allow


people (and the next generations) to freely re-use, re-
think, re-mix the knowledge we encoded into machines


possibly lots of people


Internet users

in the world:
1.668.870.408
in Europe:
402.380.474 (~50%)

average growth
from 2000 to 2009:
362.3%


so we can’t hide data because


your web site

data is less valuable when it’s siloed


value is in


context


linking


someone understood this and...


Eureka!


in the nineties he built the Web


but it didn’t work like he imagined


it became a Web of Documents meant for Human
consumption (only)


machines had no way of understading


that two documents talk about the same “thing”


semantics is hidden, only human
readers can extract it from
documents


machines are helpless


unless...


<open access,
e-publishing>
cites
<internet,
arts & humanities>

we use very simple ways (don’t forget they are stupid)
of telling them what we are talking about


this is what the Semantic Web (and Linked Data, and
the Web of Data) is all about.

Forget Articiﬁal Intelligence!
It has nothing to do with this!


Hidden semantics, no access to
Web of Documents Web 1.0 data

Hidden semantics, partial access to
Social Web Web 2.0 data,1-to-1 Interoperability

Explicit semantics, full access to
Web of Data Web 3.0 data, global Interoperability


Different Models of Collaboration

We write, We Web 1.0
publish

We publish, Web 2.0
you write

You write, you
publish, we mix Web 3.0


the Web as a huge, unique, distributed database


it’s growing fast

today we have more than 15 billions triples*

* Atomic “bits of information” in the semantic web.

what for?


to let other people use our data in new an unanticipated
ways


to let them do research, develop applications and
mash-ups, play, do business...


the web is becoming a huge distributed global database
with a lot of different ways (Interfaces, applications ...) to
access it


we want to be part of it


yes we can!*

There are many small (or tiny) institutions who have
masterpiecies and no money/staff/know-how to put
them on the Semantic Web.

From: Alice Brown
Subject: I think I’ll win the nobel prize

Hi Michele,
I think I’ve done a couple of exceptional discoveries about inslamic art on that manuscript
we were working on.

Check, them out, I’ve published my SwickyNotebook on my blog:

Ciao,
Alice
