Really?
The Rise of the Semantic Web
Started with the Blogs

Searching for an
Intuitive Internet
That Knows What
Is Said-
-And Meant!!

Really?
Obviously, the Semantic Web did
not start from or with the Blogs
Semantic Web evolution:
• Built upon the Web 1.0 & 2.0
• User-generated context
• Data linked and can be added to
• Machines can enquiry data
• Machines can understand logic /
meaning behind the data

Its all about Semantics! 

State
of
Mind
In reality.. Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0

AGENDA
• Human Artefacts
• Web Evolution
• Web 2.0 & Blogs
• The Semantic Web
• Threads of Our Lives
• The Great Leap Forward
• Immortality

Human Artefacts
We shape our tools
and afterwards
our tools shape us

Human Evolution
• Layers / Metaphors:
Thinking – Saying – Acting – Creating Tools

Online Communities

About Communities…
• Community: a group of people who consciously share a sense of
belonging anchored in common interests and enhanced by social
interactions.
• Online community: an online social aggregation that emerges
when enough people carry on those public discussions long
enough to form relationships. Members’ social interactions are
facilitated by ICTs.
• Community of Practice (CoP): a group of people who share a
concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it
better as they interact regularly.
• Collaborative e-Learning Community (CeLC): a social aggregation
that emerges in online courses when enough people carry on
progressive dialogues for the purpose of learning.

Social Networks

About Social Networks
• Social Network: a social structure made up of a set
of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and
the dyadic ties between these actors (Wasserman
& Faust, 1994). Ties can be based on: friendship,
common interests, mutual friends, family
members, business, dislikes etc.
• Social Network Platform: an other online service
focusing on building and creating networks.
• We are: Friends (Facebook), followers (Twitter),
readers (Blog), subscribers (YouTube) etc.

Web 2.0
• Effective Online Communication
– Time
– Distance
– Cost
• Cocreation
– Engagement
– Exchange of Best Practices
– Joint Development
– Shared Vision
• Sense of Belonging Online
– Sense of Community Index

Learning 2.0
• Web 2.0 social and knowledge-based society
• User / Learner Centred Design
• Affordances for tools & learning analytical
frameworks
• Learner control in intra-cultural settings
• User-generated context: new skills and
competencies (learning autonomy, self-
regulation and metacognition)

Pedagogy 2.0
• Pedagogy 2.0 for Life-Long Learning
• New requirements for Web 2.0 bring new
learning opportunities in Learning 2.0
• Pedagogical scripts for multiple intelligences
• Social computing and media tools
• Research methods & ethical considerations
• E-tutors as e-moderators: orchestrating learning
• New learning ecologies: formal & informal user-
generated contexts & eco-systems

“The Semantic Web is a major research
initiative of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) to create a metadata-
rich Web of resources that can describe
themselves not only by how they should
be displayed (HTML) or syntactically
(XML), but also by the meaning of the
metadata.”
From W3C Semantic Web Activity Page
“The Semantic Web is an extension of
the current web in which information is
given well-defined meaning, better
enabling computers and people to work
in cooperation.”
Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, Ora
Lassila, The Semantic Web, Scientific
American, May 2001

DBpedia
DBpedia ( DB: database ) extracts structured content from the information
created as part of Wikipedia. This structured information is then made available
on WWW. DBpedia allows users to query relationships and properties associated
with Wikipedia resources, including links to other related datasets.

DANGER!!
'DANGER! I don't like your face 'cuz I don't like
what it's saying'.

Tim Mazur
• Setting up a 'semantic web' of idioms &
aphorisms (to be updated/added to from user
intranet). This is for military, security, gaming &
education based software to detect
emotion/character & intent.

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1209/1209.3117.pdf http://officialandreascy.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-semantic-web-technology-promotes-e.html

eLearning + Social Semantic Web
• Enhanced and adaptive learning
• Collaborative semantic-rich learning
environment
• Students collaborative tags contribute to
ontology and teacher-directed personalised
feedback
• Metadata linked with e-learning resources for e-
learning customization
• Adaptive composing new learning materials
• Resources become accessible to all
• Resources can be easily reused and linked
together into meaningful clusters
• Adaptive Learning Pedagogical Planners
eLearning Advantages

• Enhanced reasoning and optimal
management of learning material
• Ontology based e-learning can
allow adding management aspects
• Linearized and fed unique
responses based on the
connection with the respective
user
• Responsive learning design
• -to name a few..
