Our relationships define us

The semantic web is about connections. We are defined by our relationships on different levels (with things, with people, with topics). Both offline and online we constantly enter and exit static and dynamic relationships, creating open systems of new or existing contexts, connections and meanings.

The beauty of this expanding interconnectedness is that we are its creators. We are the poets of networks, communities, hubs of shared values and interests.  It is in this poiesis of relationships that new threads emerge, forming new shapes, and enriching the environment with newly connected dots.

Fortunately, the web allows more and more for precisely these connections to be represented and considered within the context of our behaviour and interactions.

There is so much more to content than the creation and management of resources published on the Web. To begin with there isContinue Weaving

The Dialogue is the content

May 22, 2020 by Teodora Petkova

It is 1961. California. A salesman has his motorized roller skates refuelled at a gas station. In a sense he has his potential to drive sales augmented – he will be moving faster, transmitting the “marketing message” to more people, with higher efficacy. And just as he gains speed to reach yet another door… anContinue Weaving

Me, squeezed in a paragraph

I am a philologist fascinated by the metamorphoses of text on the Web, curious about the ways the Semantic Web unfolds. Currently I am a PhD student at the Sofia University, exploring how content writing is changing, changing us and the way we think, write and live. Read more about me

My Brave New Text

The Brave New Text  is a book about web writing and how it transforms the way we communicate, exchange, experience and explore thoughts, ideas, goods. It is a kaleidoscope of perspectives through which you will see texts on the web, as new forms of textuality, as webs themselves, as processes that change us, word by word, link by link.

My Tiny Companion to Weaving Texts on the Web

This is a Web Writing guide to help you pave your own road to approaching web writing and making the best of it as a tool for growth, connections and more business.
