Semantic Valley, Italy

July 12, 2010

In the hills of Italy, there is a Semantic think tank waiting for you to throw them a curveball. A recent Semantic Web article, “Semantic Valley Consortium Wants to Help Business Get Going With the Semantic Web,” detailed the creation of a conceptual linguistics organization with ties to IBM, Expert System and Oracle. Situated in the northern Trentino Valley of Italy, Semantic Valley focuses on moving thought processes away from standards-focused and academic discussions to determining ways to improve ROI on things previously thought impossible. “The consortium says it hopes to potentially produce new products and contribute to the content technology market by promoting synergy between research centers and companies,” the article claims.

This is an exciting prospect because the more thought put into semantic technology, the better machines will understand the world wide Web.

Are these three leaders following in the footsteps of the First Triumvirate. Of the three, I know Julius Caesar ended up on top only to get immortality, a great deathbed quote, and the rumor that he plotted the whole show for the benefit of his grand nephew.

Will history repeat itself? Is the Semantic Valley on Google Maps?
