Making Your Browser Smart(er)
"It's not the documents, it is the THINGS they are about
which are important"
Tim Bernes-Lee, Inventor of World Wide Web
2008 - 1993 = 15
The browser is our companion in all information journeys around the
web. Why is it not smart(er)?
Browser does not know what we are looking at
People see this as a book Browser sees this as HTML
To make the browser smarter we need SEMANTICS.
People have been talking for a while about building
Semantic Web
Semantic Web Already Exists
It is an invisible layer connecting Things and People on top of current World Wide Web.
Humans take it for granted because it is so obvious.
Machines can not see it, because it is not represented in machine readable way.
For the past 2 years AdaptiveBlue worked to bring existing Semantic
Web into a spotlight.

semantic technology.

Contextual Browsing
“You never have to go to a search engine, you just have to surf the Web and hop from concept to concept.”
- Erick Schonfeld, TechCrunchBlueOrganizer Indigo Review
Contextual Browsing
Users interact with things not pages, text or links.
Users experience personalized web - re-wired for each individual.
Users shortcut to relevant information, reducing the need for brute search.
Users discover related things and people around the content they are looking at.
