SemanticXO: Connecting the XO with the world's largest information network

Abstract

The XO, powered by a dedicated graphical environment Sugar, is a low cost, robust and connected laptop suitable for usage in developing countries. The Web of Linked Data is the largest decentralized information network ever crafted so far, containing factual information about millions of "things". The community project SemanticXO is about connecting the two, providing Sugar with dedicated tools to harness the power of the Web of Linked Data. In this paper, we introduce the project, its current status and the goals. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
