HealthMap and Pluribo
July 8th, 2008
A couple of new, cool examples of SemWeb applications:
Pluribo, a Firefox plugin which creates instant summaries of Amazon user reviews. Some Amazon products have 10-100′s of reviews. Pluribo gives a summary by analyzing all these reviews. Currently only available for Amazon, you could see more, potential interactions with other web applications, think StructuredBlogging, or a summery of 100′s of comments on a blog post. Ars Technica has a nice overview.
HealthMap, a comprehensive mashup which ends up into a global disease alert map, on a country or province level. It filters disease news from Google News, the WHO and online discussion groups. Wired has more.
