Hi guys, today, a small consortium of web companies and one institute (AdaptiveBlue, DERI (NUI Galway), Faviki, Freebase, Yahoo!, Zemanta, and Zigtag) released a format specifying expression of semantic tags so our tools will understand/publish them. http://commontag.org It is RDFa based and it does not mandate specific vocabulary of meanings for tags. DBpedia and Freebase are currently used by Zigtag, Faviki and Zemanta. Soon Glue browsing extension will support it too - so there's going to be improved browsing experience as a bonus for semantically tagging the content. We tried to build on previous experience of MOAT and others and simplify even further, so the barrier to entry will be low as possible (but still RDFa is not grokked by a lot of publishing platforms). I am interested on your thoughts in this! And if anyone wants to use this somewhere please report it, so we'll put it under Applications page at http://commontag.org [i'll be traveling in next few days and won't be able to answer emails promptly, but there are guys from other organizations this list that will] -- Andraz Tori, CTO Zemanta Ltd, New York, London, Ljubljana www.zemanta.com mail: andraz@zemanta.com tel: +386 41 515 767 twitter: andraz, skype: minmax_test
