Welcome!

Welcome to this blog!

We intended to develop this blog to the advance the idea of "emergent semantics".

Emergent semantics is a mechanism through which meaning arises out of interactions between software agents, humans and metadata. The so-called “folksonomies” Flickr, Del.icio.us are simple examples of such emergent phenomena. The idea is to extend this to the entire web and allow data & metadata to interact in ways currently not possible. For example, we can envisage ways in which IR algorithms can generate relations and allow for serendipitous insights.

While this blog will broadly revolve around the above theme, we reserve the right to post anything we please :)

welcome again!
