  1. A Ubiquitous Permeable Web: requirements for the next generation semantic internet • Hamish CunninghamDepartment of Computer Science, University of Sheffield Aberdeen AKT meeting, June 2002 1(4)

  2. A Ubiquitous Permeable Web • The next generation of the web must be: • ubiquitous: semantics for every device, every organisation, every individual; • permeable: allow contextual data to penetrate and persist; • companionable: able to engage with us via multiple natural modalities. • This implies cross-disciplinary linkages with amongst others: • wearable and ambient computing; • man-machine interface; • 4th generation telecoms. 2(4)

  3. Critical Mass for the Semantic Web • The SW: machine processable, repurposable data to compliment hypertext • But: semantics = 0.0000000...% of the Web • How to achieve critical mass? Huge scale automatic annotation. Requirements: • Huge scale:– freely available to all UK citizens– distributed (over a Grid)– re-purposeable (delivered as Web Services) • Portability and robustness via:– simple multi-genre, multi-domain, multi-media HLT methods– +ve and –ve learning– analogs of IPSEs for computer-literate users 3(4)

  4. Support Infrastructure for Language Engineering • Analogy with recent history of men’s underwear – also supportive infrastructure: • The bad old days: Y-fronts: supportive, yes, but tended to be too constrictive • The brave new world: boxer shorts: still supportive, but less constraining • The purpose of our work (the boxer shorts ideal): • freedom within a supportive environment 4(4)
