1. February 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanCMS WIRE: Spurred on by an online debate about the distinction between text analytics and semantic content enrichment, I turn in this article to the pressing question: "What does semantic content enrichment mean?" As IBM's Marie Wallace remarked, it’s great to see the term semantic content enrichment generating discussion although, she continued, "I suspect that most people still don’t differentiate it from just text analytics." The Distinction Oh, but there is a difference. Let’s explore it via the definitions that follow, first of text analytics, then content analytics and finally content enrichment and where the ensemble takes us. First definition:

The Channel: Tagging TV and Temporal Metadata
1. February 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanAPP MARKET: This article was originally published in the Association of International Broadcasting Magazine, The Channel and written by Richard Kastelein with ideas and help from Paul Johnson. The full magazine is located online here and a PDF version of this article is located here. Historically, TV metadata has been used to supply Electronic Programme Guides (EPGs) and therefore has been adequate for description at a show level. Typically when the industry talks about TV metadata, they talk about snippets of information and images provided by companies such as Rovi and Gracenote that can be used for the descriptive editorial information, images and multimedia on one show as a whole. But what about at the scene level? And why is temporal metadata — or Tagging TV — the new oil?

What Happened to the Semantic Web, and What is Possible Until it Arrives?
31. January 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanPR WEB: RDF, OWL, SPARQL and many other technologies have made the Semantic Web a technically viable solution. Its practical viability though has yet to be proven. The adoption rate is slow to non-existent, and those able to implement are rare and fading. Justin Gilbreath, the Managing Director of 30 Digits, talks on the benefits of using Web Data Extraction to seize the benefits promised by Web 3.0 through the practical implementation of these tools. Munich, Germany (PRWEB) January 31, 2012 The semantic web as a term is over 15 years old now. How close are we to its realization? How much longer will it take? Justin Gilbreath, the managing director of 30 Digits, provides insight into the development of the semantic web and practical alternatives of Web Extraction available now.

3 Ways Apps Make Money
31. January 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanSF GATE: In just a short span of two decades, the Internet has changed the way we live and how we go about carrying out our business. In the early '90s, the Web started as a read-only place where people could just browse and get widely scattered information. One example is the early version of Yahoo, which used to be a directory of various links on the Internet. After the dot-com bust in 2000, the Web went through a serious transformation when a few Internet companies were able to establish successful business models around their offerings. For example, Google incorporated a simple, keyword-based advertising model for its search engine, eBay pioneered online auctions and Amazon became the successful online department store.

New Crowdfunding Initiative to ‘Unglue’ Ebooks Launches in Alpha
30. January 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanINFORMATION TODAY: Imagine this: a site that wants people to donate money for a book they love so others can read and enjoy it. It’s an altruistic public-broadcasting kind of model called Unglue.It that its founder says can work for making ebooks more accessible. Unglue.It hopes to offer a win-win solution to readers who want to read and share their favorite books conveniently and to rightsholders who want to be rewarded for their works. Eric Hellman, the founder and president of Gluejar, Inc., the company behind Unglue.It, says, “eBook distribution is even cheaper than radio, because you don’t have to pay for transmitter power, and you don't have to own a frequency license. It’s the monetization machinery that costs money: the ecommerce systems and the DRM. If the producers of ebooks had some way of covering their fixed costs (with profit to make it worth their while), ebooks could work just like free radio.”

Making applicable music connections
27. January 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanIRISH TIMES: EEVL: FOR MUSIC lovers there is something satisfying about discovering a new band or artist. Helping in the process are internet-based music search and discovery services and there are a number on the market. However Alexandre Passant, co-founder of new Irish company, seevl, says his company’s recently-launched search product is a cut above the rest. In a nutshell the seevl product is better at digging out more detailed and less obvious connections between artists. This means it can offer users suggestions about new music options that would not necessarily spring to mind. The product is aimed at consumers, music services providers (such as Eircom Music) and resellers, and has been given the thumbs up by the influential Semantic Web community.

New Virtual Helper Challenges Siri
27. January 2012, added by Tassilo Pellegrini, Category: Market ScanTECHNOLOGY REVIEW: An app named Evi uses semantic data to provide a wider range of answers. The market for sweetly named smart-phone assistants is heating up, as Siri, Apple's iPhone-based virtual helper, just got a new "frenemy" named Evi. Created by True Knowledge, a Cambridge, U.K.-based semantic technology startup, Evi, like Siri, can answer questions posed aloud in a conversational manner. But unlike Siri, which is only loaded on the latest iPhone, Evi is available as an app for the iPhone and phones running Google's Android software. Siri and other personal assistants are still fairly limited. As they become more popular, established companies and startups will need to expand the range of tasks they can perform. True Knowledge is hoping the semantic database it has built up over the past few years could provide this edge.
