University Launches Semantic Web Interface

kv9 writes "The University of Southampton has launched a new semantic web interface, called mSpace, that it says will make searching for information online, and learning about a subject, much easier. mSpace is a framework that gathers information sources and presents them to the user in a single window. It can potentially be applied to any subject, provided the basic information is available. The researchers say this means users will no longer have to wade through lists of undifferentiated data when researching a subject."

Imagine more than PR.

Imaging better drugs.

Imagine PR on drugs.

That's what they were getting at... I think.

You think that's hard? Try some of these random things to imagine together:

Imagine Google on Pickle
Imagine Google on Mustard
Imagine Sandwich on iTunes

Well, I think my subconcious has spoken... time for lunch!

Oh, it's not a company, it's a *UNIVERSITY* (The University of Southampton, to be exact) -- that explains why they didn't get the memo.

Beautiful UK women, part 2

If the woman in the pictures is representative of the "beautiful" women from the UK mentioned by the poster of the "TV download" article, then I think its proof that the Brits are a bunch of drunks.

Imagine there's no Google
It's easy if you try
All the good stuff is below
The crap above makes you cry
Imagine all the people
Longing for the day...

London University Launches Semantic Web Interface [slashdot.org]

I mean, we all know there's only one location in England, right? Er, Britain. Or is it the UK? Mebbe I'm thinking of the Commonwealth.

Anyway, those = London

France = Paris

Germany = Berlin

"Here" = Michigan?

Fair comment - we ARE a bunch of pissheads. (So would you be if you had to put up with British women).

Re:Score for FireFox users...

[TrollBridge]

The great thing about standards, though, is that there are so many to choose from.

Microsoft developed their own, and decided to frame their browser around it. What's wrong with that? I thought choice was a good thing.

Yes, it is innovative.

[Onionesque]

In response to the various snarky comments above, it is indeed innovative to apply a known user interface paradigm to a novel data source.

I, for one, welcome our new 3-pane semantic browser overlords.

"Google on iTunes"

well. you'd pay per search. and then they'd come with drm. but you could print them out and scan them in so apparently it wouldn't be a biggie..
