I take no responsibility for any harm or damage caused to any one because of the information
provided in this presentation.
Plateau?
Gartner’s hype cycle
Morphology of Plateau• Research to bridge the gap between theory
and application.
• Real world application needs could be interesting research directions.
• Expectations are higher than used to -evaluation of the added value to the status quo.
Plateau territories

Government- Neelie Kroes, June 2nd 2015
“We should embrace change, because we have to.Our future will be based on how we are dealing with change.”
Government
• Exposing (Linked) Open Data
- data.gv.at
- open-data.europa.eu/en/data/
- data.gov
• Funding research projects
Open Data
Academia
University of Innsbruck
Academia• Research projects
• Research projects with the industry (mainly SMEs) funded by governmental schemes
• Courses on Semantic Web
• Conferences(ESWC, ISWC, WWW, SEMANTiCS, etc.)
• PhD theses
ODINE(Open Data Incubator Europe)
“ODINE will provide an accelerator programme for SMEs and startups to establish business in open data related area.”
• up to €100,000 per company
• networking with VCs, angel investors, business mentors

Courses
• University Courses on-campus
• Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC): Knowledge Engineering with Semantic Web Technologies 2015, by Harald Sack, open.hpi.de/courses/semanticweb2015
PhD Theses• Serendipitous Web Applications through Semantic
Hypermedia. Ruben Verborgh, 2014
• Leveraging The Consumption of Linguistic Open Data for Educational Purposes. Antonio J. Roa-Valverde, 2015
• SUMMA: A Common API for Linked Data Entity Summaries. Andreas Thalhammer, candidate
• Leveraging Websites to APIs using Semantics. Ioannis Stavrakantonakis, candidate
Serendipitous Web Applications through Semantic Hypermedia
“… to enable a new generation of intelligent Web clients through hypermedia and semantics, enabling a
more serendipitous Web…”
“How can semantic hypermedia improve the serendipitous reuse of data and applications on the
Web?”
Ruben Verborgh
Leveraging the consumption of Linguistic Open Data for Educational Purposes
“we exploit the practical dimension of Wiktionary”
“…with our educational use case, we show how our research can be put in practice in the context of a
mobile application designed exclusively for supporting users in the acquisition of new foreign second
language (FSL) vocabulary.”
Antonio J. Roa-Valverde
A Common API for Linked Data Entity Summaries
“We introduce SUMMA, an API definition that enables to decouple generation and presentation of
summaries. It enables multiple consumers to retrieve summaries from multiple providers in a
unified and lightweight way.”
Andreas Thalhammer
Leveraging Websites to APIs using Semantics
“helps to identify the most appropriate set of LOV vocabulary terms for a given webpage by leveraging the existing dynamics within the LOV graph and the
usage patterns in the LOD cloud.”
“…an online service endpoint, which can be used by developers and ontology engineers…”

Industry
Google data center water pipes
Industry
• BBC(linked data platform, bbc.co.uk/things)
• Google(schema.org, knowledge graph, email markup)
• Facebook(graph search, FAIR)
BBC
• Dynamic Semantic Publishing Framework provided by Ontotext
- 800+ Dynamic pages generated through SPARQL for the World Cup 2010
- 2 million page requests/day
• Linked Data Platform
BBC Things
Knowledge graph
Google Email markup“Unlock the power of your emails with schema.org”
JSON-LD + schema.org actions
e.g. schema.org/RsvpAction that “extends” the schema.org/Action
schema.org
• Contract with the developers about the understandable metadata terms on the published web content
• Uptake: 17% of 15M domains according to the Common Web Crawler, Q4 2014
• Misuse of the vocabulary of some type >50%, Meusel et al. at ESWC 2015
Facebook AI Research
“…we plan to work openly with and invest in the AI research community in France, the EU, and beyond as
we strive to make meaningful progress in these fields. We have a collaborative agreement in place with INRIA…”

Facebook + INRIA
Best way to bridge the gap is to bring the two sides under the same roof.

Outlook
Problems
• Open Data portals with SPARQL endpoints. How many developers are able to use that?
• Is there enough prototypes using Semantic Technologies and/or consuming Open Data?
• Educate developers.
What to do?• Find broken parts in the funnel and fix them,
build a product, PhD, MSc, push a solution on github.
• Encourage research directions with practical applications.
• Providing data dumps or SPARQL endpoints does not help neither the Semantic Web per se, nor the real Web.
• Publish MOOC online courses.
What else to do?
• Understand and promote the realistic added valueof the Semantic Web technologies.
• Applied research.
• Solutions that push further the real world through the Web.
• Envision the next step for the Web.
