I – 2011 Trends
Whatischanging over the last years?Massive Explosion of Raw Unstructured Content
Email Explosion
Document Explosion
Social Content Explosion
And nowit *REALLY* starts to impact all of us
“The volume of information flowing through organizations grows by200% per year”“80% of data is unstructured, doubling every month”“Fortune 1000 stands to waste at least $2.5 billion per year due to an inability to locate and retrieve information”“68% of employees recognize that it is difficult and time consuming to find information needed to do their job.”

The One Week Reality Check
  Monday / TechnicalFragmentation
“As of today, there are probably as many architectures as there are vendors in the domain. ”Dr Mario Lenz
 Tuesday / MarketOpacity
“Expect consolidation, in a market with over 50 players, the exact solution for a given business problem might be a moving target for some time yet.”John Harney- KMWorld
Wednesday/ Complexity
“Any practical feedback on LSH with Random Projections vs LSH with MinHash for text clustering / duplication detection?”TweetfromOlivier GriselNuxeo
© Billy Cripe
 Thursday / Lack of MultilanguageReadinessMost semantic technologies are stillonlyavailable in English
“Full Multingual Search: Holy Grail and still in a distant future.”Prof. Dr. Stefan Gradmann about the «Europeana» project - 2009
 Friday / Scalability Issues
“The systems that do that today are slow and clunky and don’t scale to the kinds of data sets we do with – they’re not good for 150 million messages a day.”Nova Spivack
Saturday / Fanatism
“A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be a utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. ”Cory Doctorow
OversellingSunday / VendorOversellingOverexpectationsOverpromises
“You can invest a lot and not get any return.”Scott Brinker(in Top 10 reasons the Semantic Web is a lot like love)
We are still at this stage
Whenwe all expectedto bealreadyhere
Lots of promisesBut move more slowly than expected
Semanticcost+complexity vs user centeredadded value isstilla toofoggy storyProblems being solved are too theoricalPractical short-time client deliverables are still confusedLevel of skills required prevent widespread adoption

Content & Data Interoperability
RDFaWhatisseeingcurrently the mostuse
Big DataThink Massive Volumes / Lots of Format
“RDF might be a very good choice for how to make that available, but it can’t be a religious choice. We have to look at the problem specifically and ask how does RDF or XML or anything else map to it. We’d consider it as a tool in our toolbox.”Nova Spivack
“The infrastructure needs of intelligent systems are now being met by a combination of Semantic Web, Linked Data, Web Services and Rule-based systems.”Jim Hendler - RPI
Job in progress.
Content IntelligenceMiddleware
Why the « Intelligence » layer does not take off?
“Ontology is Overrated!”Clay Shirky - 2005The Ontology Story isstillconfusedMost usage are still more « expert » systems than generic solutions
`The «smart» section of the Semantic Web: onlya fraction of the whole story?
Emergence of a new « Content Intelligence » industry

The All-Purposed Platform IssueIntellectually satisfying, concretely feasible?
Content Intelligence Middleware: To be or not to be?
Onlyone certainty: Think « Smart Inside » ratherthansimply « Semantic Web Ready »
Smart Content Apps
And finallywhy are weimplementingthiswholestack?
Main Challenge: Finding the next Semantic Killer App
“10+ years into its inception, Semantic Web still has no clear killer app. It’s not clear if or when that app will emerge.”James KobielusForrester Group
From semantic platforms to semantic apps
“User Interfaces for Semantic Web:Do They Have to Be Ugly?”Andraz Tori, Zemanta – SemTech 2010
Never that any more!
From semantic platforms to semantic apps
“Let’s get serious about user experience design.  It means utilizing your best engineers for more than just coding. “Marty Cagan
Refocus on enabling the nextSemanticExperienceEmotionalFun-to-useUser-centeredAddictivePleasurableContextual
From semantic platforms to semantic apps
“Somehow, I repeatedly run into a situation where some use of Semantic Web technologies that would make a nice end-user application is blocked by the fact that the user interface is the real challenge.” OraLassila - 2007
