| Description | There's more to the real-time Web than snippets of text. Real-time services such as Twitter and Facebook have, additionally, begun to provide rich, structured metadata for use by applications: data about places, events, web pages, and, with Twitter Annotations, anything else that can be described in JSON or XML. This data opens the door to mashups with the large bodies of linked data already deployed on the Web, enabling new and smarter applications. Instead of a stream of tweets tagged with #sxsw, for example, how about a stream of tweets by anyone attending SXSW, about films by young French directors or presentations by anyone the user has co-authored an article with. In such scenarios, the Semantic Web offers a shared information space in which applications can simultaneously interact with data from disparate datasets and real-time services, cutting down on case-by-case application logic and manual integration of data sources. This session will explore the intersection of Twitter Annotations with the Semantic Web, including 1) interlinking Annotations resources and vocabularies with the Web of Data 2) using graph databases for geospatial and temporal search on the Semantic Stream 3) Annotations and the Internet of Things 4) social network anaysis enabled by Annotations and linked data 5) tools and techniques for end-user application development |
