SemaView

“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.”

Written translation as well as oral one presents itself a complex and manifold process. Translation from English into Russian is not just a simple substitute of words from the English language by the Russian words. In English Russian translation we face the conflict of two completely different cultures, levels of development, customs and traditions. The main task of a translator is to remember and take into account all the difficulties of translation and render the author’s thought as accurate as possible using different literal devices employed originally by the author.

Don’t you just love articles that start out as questions? If you don’t know the answer, you feel compelled to read the article to satisfy your curious nature. If you clicked on this article for the short answer, we will use a quote from one of the most comprehensive Semantic Web articles on the Internet that appeared in Scientific American a few years ago “”The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

Purpose Humans are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the Finnish word for “car”, to reserve a library book, or to search for the cheapest DVD and buy it. However, a computer cannot accomplish the same tasks without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that they can perform more of the tedium involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web. For example, a computer might be instructed to list the prices of flat screen HDTVs larger than 40 inches with 1080p resolution at shops in the nearest town that are open until 8pm on Tuesday evenings. To do this today requires search engines that are individually tailored to every website being searched. The semantic web provides a common standard (RDF) for websites to publish the relevant information in a more readily machine-processable and integratable form.

Recently I searched for phone cards. As usually I used Google search engine for this purpose. I’m always satisfied with the results especially for shopping searches. If you don’t find satisfying results in SERP then you always can use Google Adwords for making purchases. I just noted that when I searched for phone cards I found that phone cards are equal to calling cards because there are same. PS. check www.callingcom.com

The Semantic Web aims to add a machine tractable, re-purposeable layer to compliment the existing web of natural language hypertext. In order to realise this vision, the creation of semantic annotation, the linking of web pages to ontologies, and the creation, evolution and interrelation of ontologies must become automatic or semi-automatic processes.

In the context of new work on distributed computation, Semantic Web Services (SWSs) go beyond current services by adding ontologies and formal knowledge to support description, discovery, negotiation, mediation and composition. This formal knowledge is often strongly related to informal materials. For example, a service for multi-media content delivery over broadband networks might incorporate conceptual indices of the content, so that a smart VCR (such as next generation TiVO) can reason about programmes to suggest to its owner. Alternatively, a service for B2B catalogue publication has to translate between existing semi-structured catalogues and the more formal catalogues required for SWS purposes. To make these types of services cost-effective we need automatic knowledge harvesting from all forms of content that contain natural language text or spoken data.

Other services do not have this close connection with informal content, or will be created from scratch using Semantic Web authoring tools. For example, printing or compute cycle or storage services. In these cases the opposite need is present: to document services for the human reader using natural language generation.

C++ (pronounced “see plus plus”) is a general-purpose, high-level programming language with low-level facilities. It is a statically typed free-form multi-paradigm language supporting procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, generic programming and RTTI. Since the 1990s, C++ has been one of the most popular commercial programming languages. (more…)

It is difficult to imagine, that in our time of high technologies there exist places, where progress didn’t come. And if coming progress can theoretically reduce possible profit, it tends to be limited.
As you know, the most of free e-mail services exist because of advertising earnings that is shown to the Users in the web-interface of mailbox. That’s why the Internet web giants of web industry are not in a hurry to give a free access to mailboxes through the POP3 and SMTP protocols. No doubt they wouldn’t want the effectiveness of their advertising to be reduced greatly.Such giants as Yahoo.com, MSN.com, and AOL.com have many users who are attached to other services of the companies and they are being slow to provide users with such access, just because people got used to use the web interface.
