Semantic Web Standards Wiki

W3C cuenta con un nuevo sitio Wiki, llamado "Semantic Web Standards Wiki" (SWSWiki). No es su objetivo superponerse a otras comunidades Wiki como Semanticweb.org o WLED Wiki;sino proporcionar un punto de partida para tener más información sobre las tecnologías de la Web Semántica, en particular sobre los Estándares de la Web Semántica del W3C.

A new public wiki site has been set up at W3C, nicknamed “Semantic Web Standards Wiki” or SWSWiki. It is not the goal of this wiki to supersede other community wikis like Semanticweb.org or OWLED Wiki; instead it is to provide a “first stop” for more information on Semantic Web technologies, in particular on Semantic Web Standards published by the W3C. Communities around such standards are also welcome to use the Wiki for their purpose; as an example, and thanks to Antoine Isaac, the SKOS community has already begun creating its own specific pages. Essentially, the role of this Wiki is to be an alternative (and, at some point in the future, maybe a replacement) to the ESW Wiki at W3C, but concentrating on Semantic Web only and using Semantic Media Wiki as an underlying technology.

In addition to the classic “Web of documents” W3C is helping to build a technology stack to support a “Web of data”, the sort of data you find in databases. The ultimate goal of the Web of data is to enable computers to do more useful work and to develop systems that can support trusted interactions over the network. The term “Semantic Web” refers to W3C’s vision of the Web of linked data. Semantic Web technologies enable people to create data stores on the Web, build vocabularies, and write rules for handling data. Linked data are empowered by technologies such as RDF, SPARQL, OWL, and SKOS.
