In a
previous blog post I suggested that the emerging SIOC-o-sphere
should be described as "Blogosphere 2.0". Well, as I think about
this a little deeper, I have come to the realization that this
cannot really be correct (even though it may be more buzz worthy
etc..). The fact of the matter is that, SIOC is about
Semantically-Interlined Online Communities (Data Spaces) comprised
of Blogs, Wikis, Discussion Forums etc.. Thus, "Blogosphere 2.0" is
simply a part of the SIOC-o-sphere :-) Ditto the Wikisphere and so
on...
What is Blogosphere 2.0 anyway?
Blog clusters that incorporate the "Open Data Access" dimension
to their usage pattern via content exported as RDF Data Sets or
Virtual RDF Data Sets (as demonstrated by the OpenLink
Data Spaces SIOC Reference). In either scenario, the RDF
rendition of blog content is accessible for to ad-hoc querying via
SPARQL (btw - checkout this cool SPARQL FAQ).
The really fascinating thing about the "Blgosophere 2.0" is that
the transition from "Blogosphere 1.0" is going to be transparent!
The "Open Data Access" will actually do the talking etc..
