Semantical.org

semantical.org is designed to promote and advance the state of the art in the establishment of the commercial Semantic Web. Any efforts here conform to, and are guided by, standards adopted within the W3C Semantic Web standards initiative.

Much greater volumes of transactions in digital goods and services on the wired and un-wired web can be realized if a standard “lingua franca” for machine readable understanding of digital goods and services were to exist.

If two machines anywhere on the web can agree on the same definition of a digital service or digital good, then machine to machine transactions can use this lingua franca to transact on the users behalf.

semantical.org is the site that enables a world-wide community to address the egalitarian need to establish this machine to machine agreement in a non-proprietary way, and thus eliminate a key friction point in finding and then transacting in digital goods and services.

The software is a collection of open-source programs designed to work together: (1) a semantic-based search engine named Kit (with recommendation capability), (2) a set of ontologies for representing knowledge relationships, (3) a navigator tool for navigating between points in the ontologies, and (4) a tagging procedure so anyone can create and publicly register a standard tag for their content and then find it with the search engine.
The software is available immediately on the site: http://semantical.org. It is based entirely on Semantic Web standards approved by the W3C.
