Fuzzbot RDFa Video Vocabulary Demo
A short demo of the RDF Video Vocabulary using RDFa, Firefox 3 and Fuzzbot.
Fuzzbot is a native Firefox plug-in that uses librdfa for it’s processing back-end. It is most useful for detecting embedded semantic information in web pages and performing actions on that semantic data.

Man immer so ein Stress. Wollte gerade einen Zeitungsartikel lesen, da höre ich via Livestation auf Bloomberg etwas von Erdbeben, sehe etwas auf Twitter über Erdbeben und nun wurde ich live Zeuge, wie gut Summize bzw. Twitter Search funktioniert.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/29/earthquake.ca/

Innerhalb von Sekunden verwandelte sich die “trending topics” zu allen relevanten Begriffen zum Erdbeben wie:
Earthquake, Chino Hills, SoCal, Quakes, Los Angeles, California, USGS, San Diego
Zudem schlagen alle paar Sekunden neue Tweets auf Twitter ein, die das Erbeben melden - Screenshot - nach 9427 neuen Tweets hörte der Counter auf zu zählen.

Der erste Tweet stammt offenbar von der Twitter Benutzerin “thevixy” und diesen Usern:

Bei Google ist nach einer Stunde das Erbeben auch bereits Thema des Tages geworden:

RDFa is the Semantic Web Technology of the Future (not Microformats).
HTML will continue to dominate the market of web publishing. People will continue to publish information in HTML because it’s the best markup language for displaying human-readable information in browsers. It’s the lowest common denominator for cross-platform information display.
If HTML is here to stay, then from the Semantic Web development point of view, we must figure out how to publish semantic data along side with HTML. In general, there are two approaches: (1) publish the semantic data of each and every HTML pages in separate documents, (2) embed the semantic description in the same HTML pages with RDFa.
If you ask which approach will likely attract web developers to share data, my answer is the latter approach (RDFa).
First, they would require less overhead in Web development. Adding few extra HTML attributes in the existing template pages is relatively easy. But, creating separate full-blown RDF documents would require completely different set of business logic and template pages. (…) Embedding semantic data in HTML gives web developers a sense of familiarity. People like to work with what they are familiar with, and many of them are reluctant to change.
In an early stage of the Semantic Web movement, some web developers may show signs of resistance to RDF document publishing. But, convincing them to use RDFa should be easy.
Michael Mace, ex Palm employee, brilliant blogger who doesn’t write often, but when he does drops bombs, is of the opinion that the mobile application sector is dead.
His answer for the next generation: Rich Internet Applications (RIA) for mobile phones.
RIA - Adobe Flash, Adobe Flash Lite; Microsoft Silverlight; Apple iPhone; Google Android; Sun JavaFX Mobile; Trolltech QT
Summary: The business of making native apps for mobile devices is dying, crushed by a fragmented market and restrictive business practices. The problems are so bad that the mobile web is now a better way to deliver new functionality to mobiles. I think this will drive a rapid rise in mobile web development, largely replacing the mobile app business. This has huge implications for mobile operators, handset companies, developers, and users.
I refer to RIA, not just as rich applications that runs inside the mobile Internet browser, but, also as reach applications that are easier and consistent to develop, that runs across platforms and more important across devices. The resources needed to port a mobile application to run on multiple devices is enormous. There got to be a better way to develop applications and games for the mobile phones, something as approachable as web development.
Conclusion: For now, we can still use excuses like incompatibility and lake of an appropriate platform to continue and create dull mobile application but it’s going to change very soon.
