A beta version of the SemTech Survey website is now available:
http://semtech.ecs.soton.ac.uk/survey

This website allows you to view a catalogue of semantic technologies registered with the service and a description on how they could be used in an educational context. You can view semantic technologies used by each service and the value that semantic technologies add to it. You can also view relationships among semantic tools and services, references and comments.

More tools and services will be added to this catalogue in the next few days.

To register a semantic tool or service or to add your own tags for existing ones all you need to do is create an account setting up a user name and password.

SemTech is currently working on a survey of semantic tools and services relevant to learning and teaching. The template that is used for this survey is here. We are also working on the web-based service that will allow the community members to contribute to this survey online.

The template aims to capture the educational context in which each submitted application can be used, to identify the semantic technologies that each application relies on and to establish the value that semantic technologies introduce in this context. At the same time, we have made an effort to keep the template reasonably short making the task of conducting the survey more efficient.

Comments more than welcome!
