"Adding semantics to the Web" is the title I have been given for my dissertation which I am finding it hard to formulate a project to develop on top of this. I have been doing a fair amount of reading both casually on the web and academic papers so I am not a total notive in this field.
Whenever I seem to go to see my dissertation advisor I seem to struggle to come up with an idea he doesn't really help and just makes suggestions that I want to take forward. He suggested make some kind of semantic search engine/crawler for a domain of my interestand . However doing that seems like It's just reinventing what's already been done for sites like last.fm or imdb. The only other idea that I could think of would be crawling programming questions and storing these in a semantic way of sorts...
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for an area regarding adding semantics to the web?
