All Communities Chart

Welcome to lotico.com, the gateway to an open community that shares a common interest in the Semantic Web. The Semantic Web effort is an initiative by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to provide a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. If you live, work or visit a location that already has an active community and you are interested to join you are welcome to participate in the meetings or the mailing list. lotico.com develops and promotes Semantic Web standards, and cooperates closely with standard groups in particular with regards to Semantic Web technologies.

Featured Event

Meetup at the Semantic Technology Conference in San Francisco

This year our global Semantic Web event will take place at the Semantic Technology Conference in San Francisco. Come and meet your peers to discuss all things Semantic Web, Web 3.0 and Linked Data to make the Web of Data a reality. It took more than 10 years to get the Semantic Web where it is today and we have good reason to believe that it's about time it will hit the mainstream web. This I believe will not happen without friction since the standards in the Semantic Web initiative are geared towards a more academic audience rather than web practitioners.
