“…There is also a debate over whether the driving force behind Web 3.0 will be intelligent systems, or whether intelligence will emerge in a more organic way, such as via collaborative filtering services like Del.icio.us, Flickr and Digg that extract meaning and order from the existing web and from how people interact with it (Markoff, 2006;Lux and Dosinger, 2007). Those linguistic mechanisms for instance could normalise folksonomy tags arbitrarily defined by the users to their roots.…”

Abstract:The web presents an autonomous evolution that could be optimised having moved towards a more formalised semantic. Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web are approaches that target the improvement of the web through mechanisms for sharing information and resources. This document argues that Web 2.0 is not an immature stage of the Semantic Web but an orthogonal dimension of another web aspect, the semantic. Unfortunately, both dimensions are not independent; the more developed a semantic representation of a system is, for being more useful for the Semantic Web, the more distant it is to the Web 2.0. A semantic system highly formalised is less intuitive and less usable for users. The different possible evolutions are: the convergence of both webs, their coexistence and the autonomous evolution of the social web towards other semantic solutions. In order to enable a real Social Semantic Web, eight proposals are sited and discussed.

“…In Shadbolt, Hall, and Berners Lee (2006), folksonomies have been claimed to be an interesting emergent attempt for infor mation retrieval but serve different purposes to ontologies, the lat ter are attempts to more carefully define parts of the data world and to allow mappings and interactions between data held in dif ferent formats. In this scenario folskonomies had been used for cre ating semantic metadata (Al Khalifa & Davis, 2007) or as a support to learning (Lux & Dosinger, 2007). Hence, ontologies are defined through a careful, explicit process that attempts to remove ambi guity, whereas the definition of a tag is a loose and implicit process where ambiguity might well remain.…”

a b s t r a c tThe constantly increasing volume of information available on the Internet is changing the forms of clas sification and access to data. Given the immense collection of information stored on the Internet, digital libraries constitute a fundamental subject of research. Among the challenges of classifying, locating and accessing knowledge in digital libraries tackling with the huge amount of resources the Web provides, improving digital libraries by means of different strategies, particularly, using semantics remains a prom ising and interesting approach. In this paper, CallimachusDL is presented, a semantics based digital library which provides faceted search, enhanced access possibilities and a proof of concept implementa tion. CallimachusDL represents a novel approach to digital libraries, integrating social web and multime dia elements in a semantically annotated repository. The results of the implementation indicate that the features proposed in CallimachusDL are encouraging and extendable in the use of digital libraries.

Abstract. Among the challenges of classifying, locating and accessing knowledge in Digital Libraries tackling with the huge amount of resources the Web provides, improving Digital Libraries by means of different strategies, particularly, using semantics remains a promising and interesting approach. In this paper, we present CallimachusDL, a semantics-based Digital Library which provides faceted search, enhanced access possibilities and a proof-of-concept implementation.
