Getting semantic about the Internet
“Semantic Web applications are just starting to appear. A Canadian example is EventSherpa, from Toronto-based Semaview. Say your company sponsors seminars. With EventSherpa, you can post a list of upcoming events on the Web, and others can subscribe to this list. Events are downloaded to subscribers’ calendars. If you change the date of an event, it’s automatically changed in every subscriber’s calendar. One catch is that Microsoft Outlook, probably the most popular calendar tool, doesn’t support this yet, but Chris Sukornyk, Semaview’s founder and president, says several other calendar packages do, including one Semaview sells.”
