= = = If you are going to do research on Web Science, what areas would you be interested in and why? =

1. Educational Games: Interesting and enjoyable. And, since I worked with it already. 2. Anything Education: Anything about education will do, i dont know why exactly, but maybe because aside from it is interesting, it is very useful and helpful. passion!?! 3. Web Security: Just curious. :D Sounds interesting and geeky!.

=**My Own Concept Map of:**=

1. Web Science 2. Architecture of the Web 3. Engineering of the Web 4. Analysis of the Web 5. Social Aspect 6. Web Governance, Security and Standards

=Notes for the Project:=

Project Domains:
I am considering Facebook applications like Farm ville, Restaurant City and Mafia Wars. Since I play those games and because they have existing communities of users already. I am also considering Educational Games since I worked on that before. Some of the topics I am considering are the topics from my other subjects, the Earthquake Reporting System and the Expense Tracker.

Most Striking Topic:
I am considering Earthquake Reporting now. Since it is a very useful application and since it is a web application.

Semantic Web Tool:
I will be using Java or Php for the project. So I am thinking of using Jenna, for java, or ARC, for php.

Jena is an open source Java framework for building Semantic Web applications. It provides a programmatic environment for RDF, RDFS and OWL and SPARQL and includes a rule-based inference engine. The Jena Framework includes:
 * A RDF API
 * Reading and writing RDF in RDF/XML, N3 and N-Triples
 * An OWL API
 * In-memory and persistent storage
 * SPARQL query engine

ARC is a flexible RDF system for semantic web and PHP practitioners. It's free, open-source, easy to use, and runs in most web server environments.

 * Various RDF parsers and extractors (RDF/XML, Turtle, RSS, microformats, eRDF, RDFa, ...)
 * Serializers (N-Triples, RDF/JSON, RDF/XML, Turtle)
 * RDF Storage, SPARQL Query, and Update
 * Turtle templating
 * Plugins and Triggers
