OntoBlog: Linking Ontology and Blogs
I presented this paper in the Semantic Authoring, Annotation and Knowledge Markup Workshop (SAAKM 2007) co-located with the 4th International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-Cap 2007), Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. It was an interesting workshop followed up by enthusiastic discussions.

SWSE
Semantic Web Search Engine SWSE, pronounced “swizzy”. Cool name ;) I think it is different from Swoogle. Lets try.
Beyond Google: The Invisible Web
Here is a good list of selected publications about the invisible web or the deep web.
Came across this new Semantic Web application platform. They say the platform comprises a powerful combination of Semantic Web, information retrieval, collective intelligence and behavioural mining technologies .

I recently noticed that Flickr now shows clustering of tags - something I wanted to do.
Automated Tag Clustering: Improving search and exploration in the tag space
Summary
The use of clustering techniques enhances the user experience and thus the success of collaborative tagging services. We show that clustering techniques can improve the user experience of current tagging services. We first describe current limitations of tagging services, second, we give an overview of existing approaches. We then describe the algorithms we used for tag clustering and give experimental results and a variety of conclusions.
This work is similar to my thesis on semantic blogging. Tags are mapped to ontology in this work while blog entries are directly mapped to ontology in my work.
Abstract:
While free-tagging classification is widely used in social software implementations and especially in weblogs, it raises various issues regarding information retrieval. In this paper, we describe an approach that mixes folksonomies and semantic web technologies in order to solve some of these problems, and to enrich information retrieval capabilities among blog posts.
We first introduce the corporate context of the study and the issues we have faced that motivated our approach. Then, we argue how the use of domain ontologies combined with the SIOC vocabulary on the top of an existing folksonomy and weblogging platform offers a way to get rid of free-tagging classification flaws, and enhances information retrieval by suggesting related blog posts.
Aside of the theoretical background, this paper also focuses on implementation. We present experimental results of this approach through the example of add-ons to a corporate blogging platform and the associated semantic web search engine, that extensively uses RDF and other semantic web technologies to find appropriate information and suggest related posts.
