SIOC
Last modified: Monday, January 14, 2008 

(pronounced "shock") Short for Semantically Interlinked Online Communities SIOC is a project that proposes a method for interconnecting blogs, forums and mailing lists to each other on the Semantic Web.  SIOC started with the development of the SIOC core ontology, which is used to describe the domain of online communities and what they consist of — users and posts and descriptions of other simple terms that occur in online communities. This structure that is created in online communities is often hidden in some database behind the scenes, and SIOC is used to expose that structure using semantics.

See "SIOC-ing the Semantic Web" on SemanticWeb.com.

SIOC-ing the Semantic Web 
DERI's John Breslin talks with SemanticWeb.com about SIOC, the Semantically Interlinked Online Communities project.

sioc-project.org 
The acronym SIOC came into use during April 2004 for a workshop paper draft (see origins of SIOC). It also corresponds to sioc (the Irish word for frost) and was inspired by a sister social networking project called sneachta (the Irish word for snow).

Webopedia's "Did You Know... What Is The Semantic Web?" 
Today people may talk about the World Wide Web, Web 2.0 or the Semantic Web. There are a lot of misconceptions about their similarities and differences, and also where the technologies inherent to each overlap, if they overlap at all. The biggest misconception is that the terms Semantic Web and Web 2.0 mean the same thing.
