DATAMI – Semantically Organising your Web History using Apache Stanbol

The DATAMI project/application (is an IKS early adopter – see other adopters) intends to support users in managing their interactions with content on the Web. More and more information is being exchanged between individual users and a large variety of online organizations. From the point of view of the Web user, these exchanges are happening in a fragmented, un-managed way, which makes it harder for them to take full benefit from this content, to obtain an overview of their online activities and make efficient reuse of these activities. We will build on the Apache Stanbol Services to produce a semantic personal Web history for users, enriched with information about the various types of entities (websites, people, organisations, places) they encounter.

IKS 2011 in Review

It’s that time of year again! Time to pause and look back at the achievements of IKS in 2011. I have selected a series of blog posts, as my guide. To recap, the vision of IKS is to bring semantic technologies as open source components to small and medium sized CMS providers. But, Seth Grimes says it best,

“The IKS project aims to add semantically rooted capabilities to content management: semantic search, content enrichment, support for intelligent user interfaces (“semantic navigation”), even support for reasoning, for automated inference, over managed content. Yet the semantic annotations that affix meaning to managed content are rarely born with the content. It’s not that users are lazy. Rather, they’re writing for an immediate audience and not for wider reuse, and authoring and publishing tools do not make it easy to create annotated content, or even to create a rich set of metadata describing content”.
