Web 3.0 Applications

Twine

“Knowledge networking” is the best way to describe Twine. It is an application that links people through their knowledge and interests - not socially - which forms into a graph type and it is called 意味グラフ (semantic graph). Like Wikipedia, where users get information from the system, in Twine, users get information from other users. It is done with semantic tagging and connects everything users search plus allowing them to rearrange their work as they keep on searching. Twine will contain RSS feeds to follow other posts, topics, events, etc; viewing and commenting.

Hakia

Hakia is a semantic search engine.. While most of the current search engines match keywords to obtain results, Hakia "supposedly" able to relate the terms in a sentence, thus producing more accurate results.

One of Hakia’s technologies is QDEX Infrastructure (Query Detection and Extraction) . It's a method of analyzing search queries at sentence level and producing meaningful results. “QDEXing” 名 (names), 日付 (dates), events and information will produce meaningful results.

Triplt

Having trouble with travel planning? Then leave it to Triplt.

Based on this, Triplt will relate the information you provided with the parameters you set like the budget and present you with an itinerary of the travel fair, hotels, car rentals, local attractions and etc etc. And based on the period, you'll get the weather forecast ( so you'll know whether it may be and in door or out door trip). within this itinerary, your given the ability to set your plans in order by scouting the restaurants, theaters, tours and many more.
