TwitLogic: real-time #SemanticWeb in <= 140 chars
Instant publication, coupled with the rise of geosocial networking, presents new
opportunities for real-time and location-based services. Much as these services are changing the nature of
search on the World Wide Web, so the Semantic Web will be both challenged and enhanced by real-time
content. TwitLogic is a semantic data aggregator which brings together a collection of compact formats for
structured microblog content with Semantic Web vocabularies and best practices in order to augment the
Semantic Web with real-time, user-driven data.
This Web interface is a work in progress. For now, you can browse
the knowledge base in Zitgist. Or if you're feeling adventurous, you can explore the knowledge base with
curl, like so:
curl -L -H "Accept: application/x-trig" http://twitlogic.fortytwo.net/hashtag/sdow2009This gives you access to additional Named Graph information, allowing you to follow the nanotation provenance trail.
