Hi Phil,
I don't really find the use cases you suggest particularly compelling.
Perhaps you could explain them in a bit more detail?
Searching -- we do some degree of traditional SEO, and the lessons
generally show up very well on major search engines
Sorting -- I'm not sure what would be sorted? The lessons are presented
in a particular order designed to help the understanding of readers who
go through the material as presented
Mashing up -- Can you give me an example?
Referencing -- Generally speaking, we think that the URLs of the
individual lessons are perfectly adequate for referencing
thanks,
Lee

I am a little surprised that you can't see use cases for adding
computationally extractable metadata to your articles. Searching,
sorting, mashing up, referencing and so on.
RSS is a different point; ignoring it's "what's new" role, it happens to
be a reasonable source for computational metadata where there is nothing
else.

Thanks for the feedback. We didn't pursue an RSS feed for the site because
it's intended to be relatively timeless educational content, rather than dated
material. That said, I can look into adding one.
Can you help me understand the use cases for using some of the other
approaches you mention and what would be involved? I didn't really have any
compelling use cases in mind off the top of my head to mark up these lessons.
thanks,
Lee

This is an interesting set of pages.
One thing that confuses me about this web site is that, as far as I can
see, it apperas to use no semantic web technology; certainly trying to
mine the web pages shows no metadata describing what the document is
about. We tried searching for OGP, various forms of metatags, prism,
COINs and so on, using our Greycite (http://greycite.knowledgeblog.org)
tool, and found nothing. We've tried visual inspection as well -- not
easy as all the HTML is on one line -- and again can see nothing. Tried
content negotiation for RDF, but this returns HTML. Even the normally
reliable RSS feed fails because there isn't one.

Hi everyone,
Many of you may already have come across Semantic University
<http://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university>, but I'd like to
announce it to this community.
Semantic University is a free, online resource for learning Semantic Web
technologies. We've gotten some great feedback over the past few months, and
we feel that it's one of the most accessible ways for both technical and
non-technical people to start learning about semantics and the Semantic Web.
For those of you who have seen Semantic University before, we've re-organized
the content into general Semantic Web Landscape content and into specific
technical tracks oriented around RDF, OWL/RDFS, SPARQL, and Semantic Web
Design Patterns. I hope you'll check it out as we think it's now much easier
to use to learn about the Semantic Web.
Semantic University currently includes over 30 lessons, and we're continually
preparing new content. We're also looking for additional writers to contribute
new lessons, so please contact me if you'd be interested. I'd especially like
to start including content specific to particular verticals, and HCLS would be
a great starting place. Please let me know if you'd be interested in
contributing!
Current lessons include:
* An Introduction to the Semantic Web
<https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/introduction-to-the-semantic-web>
* Semantic Web Misconceptions
<https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/semantic-web-misconceptions>
* Semantic Web vs. Semantic Technologies
<https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/semantic-web-vs-semantic-technologies>
* RDF 101 <https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/rdf-101>
* SPARQL Nuts and Bolts
<https://www.cambridgesemantics.com/semantic-university/sparql-nuts-and-bolts>
...and many more.
Please enjoy & we welcome all feedback & suggestions.
best,
Lee
