Facebook announces Open Graph

Recently, Facebook announced Open Graph – which is another step in the direction of linked open data. Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg said: “Yelp is mapping out the part of the graph that relates to small businesses. Pandora is mapping out the part of the graph that relates to music. If we can take these separate maps of the graph and pull them all together, then we can create a Web that’s smarter, more social, more personalized, and more semantically aware.”
After UK’s Prime Gordon Brown has announced the huge investment in semantic technology this is only another indicator that the uptake of the technology has long started. We are closely monitoring these developments and play with ideas of how to make use of this data and technology in our products.
