The W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group has published their final report . As networks of sensors become more commonplace there is a greater need for their management and querying to be assisted by standards and computer reasoning. Building on the OGC's Sensor Web Enablement services-based architecture and standards, including four description languages, the group produced ontologies for describing sensors and extended a language to support semantic annotations. The report lists use-cases and reviews existing ontologies leading to the selection of the SSN ontology, analyzes examples and semantic markup as well as mapping to existing standards. The report also includes a list of directions for future work in the context of Linked Sensor Data, or Semantic Internet of Things for work at the border of Internet of Things and Internet of Service. The group plans to create a W3C Community Group to focus on the maintenance and extension of the SSN Ontology. This publication is ...

The Google base submission system is a platform whereby you can directly load items or categorize specific content which can then be searched on Google maps, Froogle and Google. This facilitates easy searching. To help people find you, even having a website these days is not necessary. All information can be posted on this online Google base. Google has been promoting Google Maps on search results pages, and according to Hitwise, their promotion is paying off. As a result, Google Maps has seen a sizeable increase in their traffic in the last year. If you were to search for an address on Google before last January, you would have seen map links for Yahoo, MapQuest, and Google Maps. Now, you only see a link for Google Maps. Local search engine listings may be little more than an afterthought to some webmasters, but they are a source of business that you shouldn’t ignore. Optimizing your site for local searches and making sure you’re listed in the local versions of the major search ...

Website rankings are no longer about putting meta-tags and link building. The ranking factors have expanded their horizons to include the Social Media too. Both Bing and Google have confirmed that links shared through Twitter and Facebook have a direct impact on rankings Interview by Danny Sullivan on this topic Danny Sullivan: If an article is retweeted or referenced much in Twitter, do you count that as a signal outside of finding any non-nofollowed links that may naturally result from it? Bing: We do look at the social authority of a user. We look at how many people you follow, how many follow you, and this can add a little weight to a listing in regular search results. It carries much more weight in Bing Social Search, where tweets from more authoritative people will flow to the top when best match relevancy is used. Google: Yes, we do use it as a signal. It is used as a signal in our organic and news rankings. We also use it to enhance our news universal by marking how m...

Having content relevant to your main page or site topic is perhaps the most important SEO aspect of a page. You can put all the keywords you want in the meta tags and alt image tags, etc — but if the actual readable text on the page is not relevant to the target keywords, it ends up basically being a futile attempt. While it is important to include as many keywords in your page copy as possible, it is equally as important for it to read well and make sense. I’m sure we’ve all seen keyword stuffed pages written by SEO companies that honestly don’t make much sense from the reader’s point of view. When creating your site copy, just write naturally, explaining whatever information you’re discussing. The key is to make it relevant, and to have it make sense to the reader. Even if you trick the search engines into thinking your page is great — when a potential customer arrives at the site and can’t make heads or tails of your information and it just feels spammy to them — you can bet th...
