What is this SemaWorx thing about ?
Will you finally want to earn money with that ???
Yes, indeed we hate to admit it, but it's true: SemaWorx will never be for free (like in "beer" this time, too, sorry). It is always going to be a paid for service (by either advertising or financial transaction, depending on the user's choice), pushing categorized hosting as known from Google Base, My Yahoo! or Microsoft's Live.com to the next level: Transaction.
Our basic thought behind this is, that a user's current web experience, is somewhat fragmented: You have your mail at Google or Yahoo, the bookmarks at del.icio.us, photographs at Flickr, networking at LinkedIn, personal stuff on your blog… — and so on.
And though you could be considered quite a networked person (and an "early adopter", of course), you still have to log into every webshop or portal separately, providing your very own personal details, while more often than not being not assured what they will make of them.
And if you would like to find something on the web, your startpoint is a search engine — in pretty much the same way a first-timer would have to start.
We decided to call these interruptions in web usage "The Gaps in the Web Value Chain" as shown on the illustration below. [click the pic, for a bigger, printable view]
To bridge these interruptions…
…in everyday web usage, the big guys usually have figured out their own way to get around them like building their own huge data management platforms and putting millions into marketing efforts to get you tied to them. But these don't provide their benefits to their customers.
Why ? Because their revenue relies on a brokerage model. This means they simply cannot effort to stand behind their customers, because their business model requires getting in their way.
We at SemaWorx do it the other way around: For a nominal fee we help you analyse data of many different formats on a single, standardized platform (as described under "BUZZ" on this site) and – if desired – publish it freely on the web to make it usable by anyone who needs it.

Bridging the Gaps:
Netting Things Out.
Gap1: Conversion
On the internet information uses to be available everywhere – except where and when you need it. Especially when it comes to get relevant information onto a cellphone or other mobile device, you often wish you had brought your laptop along…
Solved: We convert everything that enters the SemaWorx platform into an internationally standardized format, which allows for easy output to any device or platform.
Gap2: Evaluation
Evaluations is time-consuming and hard to control.
Solved: Unified XML datastructures allow us to comfortably adjust the evaluation process to the user's needs.
Gap3: Transaction
When it comes to transaction the dta flow breaks apart: Every site uses its very own mechanism for transaction procurement and content delivery.
This raises security risks, since there is no way for the user to verify if everything really goes as fine as the site's operator tells him.
Solved: SemaWorx gets an open transaction platform built-in, which provides maximum transparency and control to the user concerning issues of privacy and trust.
