Enhancing the Web Experience
1. The document discusses DERI, a research institute focused on the semantic web and social semantic web. 2. It describes DERI's work developing the SIOC ontology to represent data from social websites on the semantic web in a standardized and interoperable way. 3. The SIOC ontology aims to connect users and data across different social/collaborative websites and allow users to easily move between sites while bringing their data.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee et al., Scientific American, 2001: “ An extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.” “ Entrepreneurs see a Web guided by common sense”, John Markoff, New York Times, 2006 : “ Referred to as Web 3.0, the effort is in its infancy, and the very idea has given rise to skeptics who have called it an unobtainable vision. But the underlying technologies are rapidly gaining adherents, at big companies like IBM and Google as well as small ones.” Requires web pages to have metadata with underlying ontologies
