Российские дети стали меньше курить и пить

...С 1998 по 2006 год тенденция употребления алкоголя только возрастала как среди девочек, так и среди мальчиков, сообщает Центр новостей ООН...

...Согласно данным, опубликованных Европейским региональным бюро ВОЗ [Всемирная организация здравоохранения], число 13-летних девочек, которые курят не реже одного раза в неделю, снизилось почти в три раза. Показатели еженедельного курения среди 15-летних девочек и мальчиков также значительно снизились....

A lot of people say that the semantic web is dead, but why is then google announcing that they plan to make the biggest change in their web search ever by introducing it. So, what is the semantic web actually? Which technologies are behind it? Why was it called dead? And why is it coming back?

There is more below.
Ниже есть продолжение.

The idea of the semantic web is that you get context sensitive answers to your questions. If you ask google for a citytrip in June to a European capital which will cost 300Euro max and where the weather shall be good, you will get a bunch of links with pages providing subsets of the information you asked for, but you won't get an answer like: Paris - 20°C - 249 Euro with Neckermann - 08.06.-10.06... But this is the ambitious goal of the semantic web. To connect information from different data sources to give you a concrete answer to your question.

To explain how this goal can be reached, the basic technologies of the semantic web have to be understood: RDF, Triple Stores, Reasoning and SPARQL. Based on this understanding it is possible to see why the semantic web did not revolutionize the web, but that it is a big opportuinity for defined areas of it and why it could also work out for big players like google.

It is nearly impossible to go online today without stumbling upon Wikipedia at some point along the way. Wikipedia, however, is just one of several projects in the Wikimedia movement next to Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary and more. In April [2012] a team of 12 started working on the foundations of a new Wikimedia project for 1 year. The project is called Wikidata. The goal is to provide Wikipedia and the world with a large free and open data repository. Wikidata will bring structured data to Wikipedia.

There is more below.

I'd like to give an introduction to Wikidata, its goals and what it means for the Wikimedia movement, Open Data and the world.

...Wikidata will bring structured data to Wikipedia and thereby help reduce a lot of the duplication between the different language editions. It is expected to especially help smaller Wikipedias who can then benefit from the work done by larger Wikipedias. Wikidata will contain things like the date of birth of a famous person, the height of an important building, the number of inhabitants of a country and much more.

But what makes Wikidata special beyond being done in the Wikimedia movement? It will be able to deal with the ambiguity of the world. It will contain different statements about the same thing citing different sources with different values (for example for the population size of Israel). It will contain not just statements but also its sources and additional information like validity and granularity. It aims to be a showcase and testing-ground of how to collect and maintain large amounts of data by a community. And it will bring Wikimedia closer to its vision of a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

I'd like to give an introduction to Wikidata, its goals and what it means for the Wikimedia movement, Open Data and the world.
