What it does
Everything’s going semantic these days. The search engine giants are surely hiding some handsome technology in their maximum tech, maximum security vaults. But it’s not just the big boys getting into the action. The vision of a semantic web has been around awhile. It aims for a web that works more like we work, deriving meaning from information through a combination of metadata, structure and technology. In the semantic search field, a semantic engine would be able to infer meaning rather just spewing out a bunch of terms you may or may not need. Discover Semantic is one such semantic search engine. It touts itself as a search engine for semantic web topics. So if you need a primer on anything semantic—RDF, GRDDL, OWL, SPARQL or microformats—check out Discover Semantic. Make your self familiar with the next generation of web.
In their own words
“a search engine for semantic web topics”
Why it might be a killer
Discover Semantic is a good way to find info on the semantic web vision and it also works as Google type search engine with ads but, its results are a lot more fine tuned.
Some questions
Discover Semantic is sparse on info—how will it gain an audience? What’s its business model? Are the results satisfactory to users used to Google?
