World Wide Web Consortium

In addition to the classic “Web of documents” W3C is helping to build a technology stack to support a “Web of data,” the sort of data you find in databases. The ultimate goal of the Web of data is to enable computers to do more useful work and to develop systems that can support trusted interactions over the network. The term “Semantic Web” refers to W3C’s vision of the Web of linked data.

W3C develops technical specifications and guidelines through a process designed to maximize consensus about the content of a technical report, to ensure high technical and editorial quality, and to earn endorsement by W3C and the broader community.

The LDSR represents a reason-able view grouping several of the central datasets of the Linking Open Data (LOD) W3C SWEO community project.

Semantic Search Meetup Groups

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or W3).
Founded and headed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee,[2] the consortium is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. As of 8 September 2009, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has 356 members.[1] W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web.

This will serve as an introduction and resource to the Semantic Web and its current technologies by serving as a central location for existing informative resources (collections of tools, tutorials, real world examples, etc.).
