Background
• Who Are We? – BBN – Long-term Sherpa of the Semantic Web and other cool stuff
• Goals for Today– Discuss the opportunity to expand the Semantic Web
through Web 2.0– Some observations, insights, and possible directions
• Agenda– Web 2.0 Fly By– Semantic Web Opportunity– Semantic 2.0 Sauce– Semantic Web 2.0 Demonstration– Summary

Web 2.0 Fly ByWeb 2.0 is really an “after-the-fact” catch-all for a collectively
recognized phenomena
the foaf project

What does it all mean?
•Plays Nice with Others– Reinforcing and enhancing
•Network Assumed (Duh!)•Small, Simple, and Easy
– Do one small thing well - think UNIX shell scripts
– Not monolithic and comprehensive rather contributing
•Flexible Distribution– Processing, GUI, etc
– Optimizes resources, locality
– Easy Integration, Scripting, and Interfacing
•Mere Use often Produces Enrichment and Scale
– Participatory
– Forms Collective Intelligence/Enrichment
•A Better View into the Real Treasure - Data
And we are only getting started…
5
Clearly, Data is the fuel of Web 2.0
• “Data is the Next Intel Inside”• For the most part still remains imprisoned• Tough, Rewarding Data Challenges Ahead…
– Privacy– Control and Ownership– Distribution– Security/Trust– Digital Rights Management (DRM) (Yuk!)– Access– Integration
• "embraced and extended" their data suppliers • The race is on to own certain classes of core data • Free vs. Proprietary• (Oh, data has only begun to explode)
– Web 2.0 feeds the fire along with other catalysts

Semantic Web ContributionsYes, we can do that…
Data and Service Integration• Merge/Align• Deconfliction• Consistency• Trust• Re-Mixable
Policy• Security• Privacy• Distribution
Data and Service Transformation• Semantics• Tagging• Technical
Access• Query• Search
Logic• Discovery• Inference
7
Adding Semantic Sauce to Web 2.0
• Three Steps1. Recognize and Leverage Foundation
2. Collect and Corral Best Practices
3. Offer Services
8
Recognize and Leverage Foundation
A lot of solid progress…
• Standards– RDF, OWL, SPARQL, SWRL, …
• Platforms– Jena, Sesame, …
• Tools– Protégé, SWeDE
• Practices– SWBPD
9
Collect and Corral Best Practices
• Help with Transition
• Direction and Measurement

Offer Services
• Supporting Semantic Services– Internal enrichment to existing Web 2.0– Trust, Security, Segmented Distribution, Integration,…– Often subsets of existing Semantic Web applications
• Full Semantic Services– Adds to the diverse Web 2.0 palette– Semantic Themes (email, searching, organization, …)
• Semantic Scripting and Automation– Take tagging to the next level– Reduce/isolate low level complexity
