On the cross-fertilization of geospatial and semantic web technology

Yet another Semantic Web technology question

Kochukoshy Cheruvettolil posted the following question on LinkedIn Answers:

Does anybody know of a practical implementation of Semantic Web Technologies?

I’m looking for an example of something that demonstrates what is unique to the semantic technologies - not something that could as easily be implemented using conventional methods.

Jeffery Pollock gave his view on the issue.

I know similar questions have been discussed many times in the past. Since it appeared in LinkedIn, a somewhat business-oriented community, I mention it here just in case readers of Planet RDF may want to join the discussion and do some cross-domain information exchange.

  1. I think freebase is at least a good model for what can result from a system of URIs and semantics. Of course, it’s a closed system. But it is a semantic web even though it’s not the Semantic Web.

    If you haven’t gotten a chance to check out freebase yet and you’d like to, let me know.

  3. http://dbpedia.org/docs/ is a project that I feel is worth mentioning.
