The fully styleable primitives that the web offers (e.g. <div>) are quite powerful, but they lack semantic meaning. This means that accessibility is often missing because assistive technology cannot make sense of the div soup that we use to implement our components.

This graph view is the easiest possible mental model for RDF and is often used in easy-to-understand visual explanations

Learning Expressive Ontological Concept Descriptions via Neural NetworksMARCO ROSPOCHERTheRoadLessTraveledTransforming a sentence into an axiom

An institution has implemented a learning management system (LMS). The LMS contains a learning object repository (LOR) that in some aspects is populated by all users across the world  who use the same LMS.  Each user is able to align his/her learning objects to the academic standards appropriate to that jurisdiction. Using CASE 1.0, the LMS is able to present the same learning objects to users in other jurisdictions while displaying the academic standards alignment for the other jurisdictions (associations).

Moving to a Web of Linked Data for Credential Ecosystems

hat Velterop essentially does is to generalize the Wikipedia implementation of distributed contributions by linking it to the semantic web

I Annotate 2016 shows that it’s ready for prime time.

produce schema-aware writing tools that everyone can use to add new documents to a nascent semantic web

Annotation can help us weave that web of linked data.

Is it possible to add information to a resource without touching it?

Set Semantics¶ This tool is used to set semantics in EPUB files. Semantics are simply, links in the OPF file that identify certain locations in the book as having special meaning. You can use them to identify the foreword, dedication, cover, table of contents, etc. Simply choose the type of semantic information you want to specify and then select the location in the book the link should point to. This tool can be accessed via Tools->Set semantics.

why not annotate, say, the Eiffel Tower itself

machine-readable, ‘semantic’ annotations.

I feel that there is a great benefit to fixing this question at the spec level. Otherwise, what happens? I read a web page, I like it and I am going to annotate it as being a great one -- but first I have to find out whether the URI my browser is used, conceptually by the author of the page, to represent some abstract idea?

Maybe the driver for semantic web data is humans trying to programmatically consume human-readable information, rather than the other way around?

observational metadata is far more reliable than the stuff that human beings create for the purposes of having their documents found. It cuts through the marketing bullshit, the self-delusion, and the vocabulary collisions
