This week, ReadWriteWeb is running a series of contributions in detail, what we are the five largest, most modern web trends come to think of 2009. We give in this area, a trend analysis per day. Then at the end of the week we will have a major update to our standard presentation on web technology trends to publish. The first major web development which we seek to structured data. Tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.readwriteweb.com/ archives/top_5_web_trends_of_2009_structured_data.php'; tweetmeme_source = 'RWW'; In earlier presentations it has sometimes referred to under the umbrella term "Semantic Web". But the way 2009 has swung so far, it has become clear that this trend is much more than the Semantic Web. In this paper we will analyze the development of the structured data to this year and provide you with 3-product examples: OpenCalais, Google, WolframAlpha. Sponsor Editor's Note: This story is part of a series we call Redux, where we re-publish some of our best posts of 2009. As we look back at the years – and before, based on what the next year – we think that the stories are worth a second look. It is not only a best-of list, it is also a collection of papers that the fundamental questions that examine the design of the web further. We hope you enjoy reading it again and we look forward to more web products and trend analysis in 2010. Happy Holidays from Team ReadWriteWeb! Web of Data, no documents Tim Berners-Lee said in February this year that we are now in a W eb of data, but as a network of documents. The organization, Berners-Lee heads, the W3C, strong, two important initiatives that will help to ensure that the web of data: The Semantic Web and Linked Data recently promoted. However, in recent years we have seen that there are many other ways to structure data and to allow other to build it. The best current example is certainly Twitter, the API has been responsible for approximately 90% of Twitter 's activities – via Third Party Apps. The basic principle of the web of data is still the same as what Alex Iskold on ReadWriteWeb articulated back in March 2007: "unstructured information will give way to structured information – paving the way for more intelligent use." Example 1: Our first example OpenCalais product OpenCalais is probably the best recent example of Linked Data (a form of structured data, opinion of the W3C). Thomson Reuters, the international economic and financial news giant, launched an API called OpenCalais in February '08. In short, turns OpenCalais unstructuredhref = 'http://www.w3.org/TR/HTML4/ "target =" _blank "> HTML code into semantically marked up data. It arranges data in large UPS such as" People, Places, "" company "and much more. In this way from third-party applications and pages of interesting new things that the data to build – one of the defining principles of linked data. For a comprehensive explanation of the Linked Data to read technical Alexander Korth Introduction The Network of data and the production machine Accessible Information from April 2009. I have also explained the background and benefits of linked data in a May '09, according to claim Linked Data Blooming: Why you should care. Example 2: In May, Google Rich Snippets this year, Google has search-structured data in their foundations, in the form of a feature called "Rich snippets. In essence, this function extracts and displays useful information from Web pages, by way of structured data for open standards like microformats and RDFa. At the launch in May, Google invited publishers to highlight their HTML. While it takes a while for this markup has become widespread, the fact that a huge company like Google, it implements the increasing importance of structured data shows on the Web. Other large companies are also in this direction – in particular, Yahoo was a beginning guide. Example 3: Since WolframAlpha Tungsten | Alpha much hype launch in May, we were alert in the pursuit of this innovative product. It's a self-described "Computational Knowledge Engine 'and while it is predicted not quite the Google killer some, it has many uses. Tungsten | Alpha has a search engine-like interface, allowing you the type of natural language statements into it. But the bulk of the product is you can do the calculations on data. The product is premised on the use and calculation of data. If Web 2.0 was about creating data (also known as "user generated content), then the next generation of the Web is all about the use of such data. We can conclude from the above three examples to see that structured data is becoming more a feature of today's Web. Companies such as Thomson Reuters and Google are among those to be structured data and new types of products (such as tungsten | Alpha) using structured data in a way that is we can not imagine, perhaps, just to do now. discuss ReadWriteWeb's Top 5 Web trends of 2009: The Structured Data Real-Time Web personalization Web & Mobile Augmented Reality Internet of Things
