 * Delete. Deliberately uninformative gobbledygook: The project aims at producing methodologies, methods and tools that enable the massive creation and feasible management of semantic content in order to facilitate the world-wide uptake of semantic technologies. The availability of a critical mass of useful machine-understandable data and the natural limitations of automation in semantic content creation-related tasks are hampering the worldwide uptake of semantic technologies. Technologies and applications are not designed to provide incentives and motivation for users to engage in manually creating semantic content or extending and revising existing one. "Weaving the Semantic Web requires that humans contribute their labor and judgment for creating, extending, and updating formal knowledge structures. Hiding such tasks behind online multiplayer games presents the tasks as fun and intellectually challenging entertainment".  Whatever the merits of the underlying project, this kind of writing is not calculated to inform, and as such no amount of editing could fix this.  What exactly are they trying to do?  Sounds like they want to program a computer to produce Barrens chat.  Linguistic performances like this are the typed equivalent of a mountebank's handwaving.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * no, not deliberately unimformative, but merely the normal sort of pr-based writing. It attempts to be informative, after its fashion, though it certainly is non-encyclopedic. "Deliberately uninformative" would mean a deliberate attempt to hide  information. Generally such writing can be condensed or rewritten into English.  Incorrect style of an article is not an argument for deletion.  DGG ( talk ) 03:59, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If it means something, maybe somebody can explain it in English in a way that makes it sound worthwhile. What it sounds like to me is that the project involves logging player chat and interactions in an online game in order to create a body of "semantic content".  Anybody who has ever experienced global chat channels in online games knows this to be a fool's errand.  And Americans think their government wastes money....  Of course, it might be saying something else entirely, but that's because this is indeed written in patent nonsense.  Not even Chuck Norris could make sense of this. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:17, 1 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per lack of enough notable mentions. When I performed both a Yahoo! and Google search, all I found wasa PRWeb mention here and Facebook and Twitter link. SwisterTwister   talk  21:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
