Wikipedia today

Brač is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. The island has a population of 13,000, living in numerous little towns, ranging from the 'main town' Supetar, with more than 2,500 inhabitants, to Novo Selo, where only a dozen people live.

Today, Brač lives mostly on tourism, but fishing and agriculture (especially wine and olives) are very important too, as is selling its precious, white stone (which was used in building Diocletian's Palace in Split, and is built into the White House in Washington, DC, too).

Lack of expressivity

How to say “Ronald Reagan was US president from 1980 to 1988”?

What about relations between relations, like inverses?

What about transitivity, symmetry? What about constraints like class

disjointness?

Next steps

AIFB

Next steps

Marry Wikipedia and Semantic Web Need to run stress tests

Wikipedia at 12,000 hits per second Scalability,

scalability, scalability Show cool apps Multilinguality Tons of details

Conclusions

Very flexible system for creating data “Soft” introduction

People often scared about Semantic Web You can still use it as a standard wiki Immediate benefit

“The simplest database that could work” Data is there – play with it! Kickstart the Semantic Web
