+ \frametitle{A Brief History of Internet ``Versions''}
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Web 1.0
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Website, basic browsing, hyperlinks
+ \end{itemize}
+ \pause
+ \item Web 2.0
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Dynamically loaded content
+ \item Infinite scroll, more interactivity, etc.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{``Versions'' are Largely Marketing Slop}
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Hundreds of ``Web 2.0'' books sold
+ \pause
+ \item But... versions do signal a push for change
+ \end{itemize}
+
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{What is Web 3.0?}
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item In the 2010s, people were pushing the Semantic Web as Web 3.0
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Academics
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}

+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{The Semantic Web}
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item A phrase coined by Tim Berners-Lee
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Who is credited for ``inventing the internet''
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \begin{quote}
+ The essential property of the World Wide Web is its universality. The power of a hypertext link is that "anything must be able to link to anything"
+ \vskip 1em
+ \hfill -- Tim Berners-Lee

+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{The Semantic Web}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item In Web 1.0/2.0 documents of structured information link to each other.
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item But the documents don't {\em mean} anything except to a human reader.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \begin{verbatim}
+
+ \end{verbatim}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Level 0: Data Annotation}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Documents describe what they are
+ \begin{verbatim}
+
+ \end{verbatim}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Level 0: Data Annotation}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Meaning ascribed to different sections of the document
+ \item There's an automated way of interrogating the web resource:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Who is the website about?
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item One person, Spencer
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item What is Spencer's email?
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item sjkillen@uaberta.ca
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{The Good and the Bad}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Website is {\bf more} machine readable
+ \item Easier for bad corpos to mine information
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item But companies will use LLMs to mine this info with or without annotation
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Good actors:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Application interoperability
+ \item E.g. Very easy to build an application that looks through pages you've browsed
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item ``Makes a list of the people I've read about online'' or
+ \item Poll https://sjkillen.ca periodically and update Spencer's contact info
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Level 1: Distributed Authority and Ontologies}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ % \item An evolution of human knowledge
+ \item An information either asserts authority: \\``the sky is blue, trust me bro''
+ \item or cites a source: $e = mc^2$ (Einstein 1905)
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Level 1: Distributed Authority and Ontologies}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Ideally, anything and everything should be cited
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Current methods of citation are highly limited
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item We reference a book, article, etc and expect the reader to find the relevant parts.
+ \item More granular systems exist (e.g. citing specific diagrams, bible verses, etc)
+ \item But these systems cite some structural part of the source material, not a semantic one.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{A Contrived Example}
+ \begin{example}
+ Writing a fanfic which combines Linux lore with Lord of the Rings.
+
+ Richard Stallman is a Hobbit character.
+
+ A reference to the Stallman Hobbit needs to cite both Linux lore and LOTR.
+
+ How will people know which idea comes from which source?
+ \end{example}
+ \begin{verbatim}
+
+ Richard
+
+was a 3 foot tall
+
+ Hobbit
+
+ \end{verbatim}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Normal citations happen once, but we can cite every usage
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Authority Delegation}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Now Wikipedia and lotr.com are the authoritative definitions of Stallman and Hobbits, respectively
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+ \frametitle{Modeling Concepts, Relations, and Webs}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Our citation doesn't describe the relation our character has to the real person our LOTR books.
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \begin{verbatim}
+
+
+
+ Richard
+
+
+ was a 3 foot tall
+
+ Hobbit
+
+
+ \end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Schema.org}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{We Can Define Our Own Concepts Too!}
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Someone can write a fanfic of our fanfic to cite and incorporate a new creature we define
+ \item Someone browsing for stories can search to find all works that incorporate our creature
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item All usages are self-reported, therefore not susceptible to AI slop errors.
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Level 3: Semantic Services}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item A website can use these technologies to report the services it provides
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item E.g. a pi digit calculator
+ \item An imperial-to-metric converting service
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{The Premature Death of the Semantic Web}
+
+\begin{quote}
+ ``A technology dies first when people stop using it, and then again when its name is lost. ''
+ \vskip 1em
+ \hfill -- Unknown
+\end{quote}
+\pause
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item ``Crypto/Blockchain is now Web 3.0''!
+ \pause
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item The name has been stolen from the Semantic Web
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{The Arduous Knowledge Engineering Barrier}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Implementing the semantic web takes two types of experts working in tandem:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Experts in web technologies (knowledge engineers)
+ \item Experts in the domain (e.g., Linux lore expert or LOTR expert)
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item This is why semantic web technologies never saw widespread adoption
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Reclaim the Web from the LLMs!}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Large language models are stealing the web from us
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Automatically extracted data from websites is served in a chat client
+ \item Websites aren't visited by people, just LLM scrapers
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \pause
+ \item Fighting back?
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Use LLMs to allow the domain expert to ``be the knowledge engineer''
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Ensures automatic data extraction is audited by an expert, unlike current LLMs
+ \item Data is accessible and reliable
+ \item Greatly decreases the cost of semantic web tech adoption
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Build more tools that rely on the Semantic Web
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+ \frametitle{Semantic Web Technologys}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item RDF
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item RDFa
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Used in examples. Annotate HTML with relations
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item OWL
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Extends RDF with description logic
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item RIF
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Extends RDF with intuitionistic rule logic
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{How to Get Started}
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item Learn basic HTML
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Only very basic HTML is needed.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item Learn RDFa Core
+ \item Annotate a document using schema.org
+ \end{enumerate}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Exercise}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Annotate HTML with RDFa, then verify using an RDF extractor
+ \end{itemize}
