Another case of data entering the Semantic Web

SCOVO is a vocabulary that supports systems where statistical data is being processed and linked into the semantic web. In the paper of Hausenblas et al. this process and the use of SCOVO was clarified. The workflow is again similar to the one I will implement later in this project.

TwitLogic enables semantic microblogging with twitter

In this project I will have to deal with short messages of less than 140 chars. This is called microblogging. Joshua Shinavier wrote a summarizing paper on how this can be achieved. He introduced a semantic data aggregator which brings together a collection of compact formats for structured microblog content with Semantic Web vocabularies and best practices in order to augment the Semantic Web with real-time, user-driven data. Obviously this is the direction in which I want to go with the research for my Master thesis.
