- ABC music mashup shows off the Semantic Web
- Australian Broadcasting Corporation leads the way into a brave new world, by Georgina Swan (Computerworld). CIO, 11 October, 2009. "The Semantic Web. You may heard it bandied about as 'the next big thing' but never really understood exactly what the termed encompassed. It's hardly surprising; its development is, like so many things online, in a constant state of flux. When World Wide Web Consortium director, Sir Tim Berners-Lee coined the term in 1999, the concepts were purely abstract..."

- Web 3.0: Rise of the Intelligent Machines
- by Phillip Green. Information Management Special Reports, September 1, 2009. "Although Web 3.0, also known as the semantic Web, is a conceptual technology many years from maturation, the industry is already beginning to see how it might play out in the enterprise. In the semantic Web, all content — whether it’s text, images, video or something else — will have descriptors that bring meaning, context and relevance to it. Smart search engines will infer what users are looking for and will comb the Internet to find only the information relevant to the user's query..."

- Anticipated Web 3.0 jibes with open-government goals
- Web 3.0 could help make Obama's dream of government transparency a reality, but he'll need a second term to see it happen, By John Moore. Federal Computer Week, July 17, 2009. "Transparency and accountability have become the watchwords of the Obama administration, and part of that promise is making all sorts of government data available to citizens and public interest groups via the Web. But go past the slick home pages of public access Web sites such as Data.gov and Recovery.gov, and one finds frustrating inconsistencies in the volume and presentation of available information. Critics look at these shortcomings and gripe about the oxymoron of 'government accountability'. But it's also certainly true that the Web tools the Obama team is using are not cut out for the job..."

- Putting Government Data online
- by Tim Berners-Lee. W3C, 30 June 2009. "Abstract - Government data is being put online to increase accountability, contribute valuable information about the world, and to enable government, the country, and the world to function more efficiently. All of these purposes are served by putting the information on the Web as Linked Data. Start with the "low-hanging fruit". Whatever else, the raw data should be made available as soon as possible. Preferably, it should be put up as Linked Data. As a third priority, it should be linked to other sources. As a lower priority, nice user interfaces should be made to it -- if interested communities outside government have not already done it. The Linked Data technology, unlike any other technology, allows any data communication to be composed of many mixed vocabularies. Each vocabulary is from a community, be it international, national, state or local; or specific to an industry sector. This optimizes the usual trade-off between the expense and difficulty of getting wide agreement, and the practicality of working in a smaller community. Effort toward interoperability can be spent where most needed, making the evolution with time smoother and more productive..."

- Web 3.0 or Not, There's Something Different About 2009
- Written by Richard MacManus. Read Write Web, May 20, 2009. "This week I gave a short presentation at a local event, Webstock Mini, in which I looked at some of the trends we're seeing in Web Technology this year. The presentation is embedded below. I gave the term 'Web 3.0' a bit of a ribbing. But my overall theme was that there is indeed a difference in the products we're seeing in 2009, compared to the ones we saw at the height of 'Web 2.0' (2005-08)..."

- Understanding the New Web Era: Web 3.0, Linked Data, Semantic Web
- Written by Richard MacManus. Read Write Web, May 14, 2009. "I've been following a fascinating 3-part series of posts this week by Greg Boutin, founder of Growthroute Ventures. The series aimed to tie together 3 big trends, all based around structured data: 1) the still nascent "Web 3.0" concept, 2) the relatively new kid on the structured Web block, Linked Data, and 3) the long-running saga that is the Semantic Web. Greg's series is probably the best explanation I've read all year about the way these trends are converging. In this post I'll highlight some of Greg's thoughts and add some of my own..."

- Headup: A True Semantic Web Search Agent
- by Chris Sherman. Search Engine Land, October 16, 2008. "'Semantic web' is one of those phrases that's tossed around loosely these days, used to describe just about anything that goes beyond basic keyword search to surface relevant content on the web. But true semantic web applications, those that enable people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications or web sites, are still relatively few and far between. That's what makes Headup, a new Firefox plugin from the aptly named SemantiNet, so intriguing..."

- Revisiting Semantic Web's Pros and Cons
- It's cool technology, but what about the humans? The debate still rages years after Semantic Web's introduction, By Richard Adhikari. Internet News, May 26, 2008. "Mention the Semantic Web, and some people think it's going to be a little slice of heaven, while others see it as the end of the world. The first camp, which mainly includes scientists and researchers, wants to use computers to link up data from different sources to create a holistic view of the world. The second, which is more concerned with the social impact of technology, counters that this would result in a massive invasion of privacy..."
