TL;DR: The practice of crowdsourcing is transforming the Web and giving rise to a new field of inquiry called "crowdsourcing", which aims to provide real-time information about events in a democratic manner.

TL;DR: The new Semantic Web recommendations for RDF, RDFS and OWL have, at their heart, the RDF graph, and Jena2, a second-generation RDF toolkit, is similarly centered on the R DF graph.
Abstract: The new Semantic Web recommendations for RDF, RDFS and OWL have, at their heart, the RDF graph. Jena2, a second-generation RDF toolkit, is similarly centered on the RDF graph. RDFS and OWL reasoning are seen as graph-to-graph transforms, producing graphs of virtual triples. Rich APIs are provided. The Model API includes support for other aspects of the RDF recommendations, such as containers and reification. The Ontology API includes support for RDFS and OWL, including advanced OWL Full support. Jena includes the de facto reference RDF/XML parser, and provides RDF/XML output using the full range of the rich RDF/XML grammar. N3 I/O is supported. RDF graphs can be stored in-memory or in databases. Jena's query language, RDQL, and the Web API are both offered for the next round of standardization.

TL;DR: This survey aims at providing a glimpse at the past, present, and future of this upcoming technology and highlights why it is expected that knowledge discovery and data mining can benefit from RDF and the Semantic Web.
Abstract: Universality, the property of the Web that makes it the largest data and information source in the world, is also the property behind the lack of a uniform organization scheme that would allow easy access to data and information. A semantic web, wherein different applications and Web sites can exchange information and hence exploit Web data and information to their full potential, requires the information about Web resources to be represented in a detailed and structured manner. Resource Description Framework (RDF), an effort in this direction supported by the World Wide Web Consortium, provides a means for the description of metadata which is a necessity for the next generation of interoperable Web applications. The success of RDF and the semantic web will depend on (1) the development of applications that prove the applicability of the concept, (2) the availability of application interfaces which enable the development of such applications, and (3) databases and inference systems that exploit RDF to identify and locate most relevant Web resources. In addition, many practical issues, such as security, ease of use, and compatibility, will be crucial in the success of RDF. This survey aims at providing a glimpse at the past, present, and future of this upcoming technology and highlights why we believe that the next generation of the Web will be more organized, informative, searchable, accessible, and, most importantly, useful. It is expected that knowledge discovery and data mining can benefit from RDF and the Semantic Web.

TL;DR: The authors describe how Protege-2000, a tool for ontology development and knowledge acquisition, can be adapted for editing models in different Semantic Web languages.
Abstract: As researchers continue to create new languages in the hope of developing a Semantic Web, they still lack consensus on a standard. The authors describe how Protege-2000, a tool for ontology development and knowledge acquisition, can be adapted for editing models in different Semantic Web languages.
