Semapedia= Semacode+Wikipedia
Semapedia combines the physical annotation technology of http://semacode.org with the availability of high quality information using the free online encyclopedia http://wikipedia.org.
The promise of this system is to provide free relevant ad-hoc high quality information to mobile users in the real world.
Using Semacode Nodes, real-world objects such as a museum, a statue or anything that exists in the real-world and which happens to have a Wikipedia.org article written will be tagged with their according Wikipedia article URL.
A passer-by can now use his Smartphone and 'click' (take a picture and decode the URL) on the Semacode Node in order to obtain the relevant Wikipedia article on the subject that she is standing in front of.
The Semacode Node was formerly created and attached by either the owner of the subject or someone else who thinks passer-bys should be able to learn more on the subject using this technology.Create your own Semapedia.org Tag right now!
