Hello Friends, We have now reasonably good repository of linked data but i am not able to find any good application being made out of it. From the dicsussion on these mailing lists and other places, i got the feeling that everyone in semantic world thinks that semantic web is something big but unfortunately nobody is able to think of an application for _general public_ that can be based on semantic web data we have currently. This led me to wonder that are there any more layers of information organization missing in the semantic web stack that are needed to generate good usable semantic web data which can be more useful for generating useful semantic apps . Few of the concepts i was thinking for upper layers to implement were like categorization, set formation(eg MIT passout in 2002), set intersection, etc. With these higher level layers I was hoping to build a system to find higher level relations say between places with low cancer rates and the food people eat there or any perticular gene found in such people. The current semantic stack looks like this: ..... layer5 (???) layer4 ( ???) layer3 linked facts (isa(mars,planet) AND partof(mars,solarsystem) AND mass(mars,6566.1255kg)) layer2 facts (isa(mars,planet), isa(cow,animal)) layer1 objects (eg cow, mars, man) Are there any other thoughts on the need of layers above the layer 3 (linked data ) or these layers will be defined by the respective apps developers ? Even if there isn't any need, i would atleast like to have a discussion on the kind upper level layers we might need :) thanks ravinder thakur
