A number which accepts call-ins is unreachable.

Rebooting the modem can solve this problem.
1) ssh to cgnetswara.org and type "ping 10.0.0.3".
2) Reboot the modem over ssh by following the instructions:
From the Swara prompt type:
ssh -l admin -p 2222 10.0.0.3

If you are not root, change to root:
su root

reboot

[http://cgnetswara.org/ CGNetSwara] is an audio portal platform founded by Shubhranshu Choudhary that allows communities to create portals accessible by both web and phone.
To phone callers, Swara presents a 2 way Interactive Voice Response that the user navigates using the number keys on their phone.
On the web side, Swara presents a blog interface, that can be used to syndicate contents to social media sites as well as other platforms (via RSS)
Users can submit content to the platform both via the IVR, by recording audio messages as well as via the web.

==Abstract==

==='''Social Semantic Web'''===

The Social Web of today is characterized by participatory content creation and also syndicated communication. Wikipedia is an example of participatory content creation,
while the micro-blogging exchanged using the Twitter service are examples of communication. A parallel and equally signicant development of the web has been the steady effort on investing the data on the web with semantics and the resultant growth of the Semantic Web. Various initiatives
to leverage the social web have been applied to collectively
build the Social Semantic Web.

==='''Web of Data'''===

Large data sets are available on the Web today that make
it the essential sources for Linked Data. While most of these
need not be collaboratively created, there are sets such as
DBpedia which is participatory in an indirect sense because
it is extracted from Wikipedia. Wikipedia, although is
participatory created is however a single web application that
manages content creation and editing by a number of
people. This is effectively similar to the way various
social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+
are all centralized web applications that open themselves
to help provision exchange of messages and content among
their subscribers.

We propose to leverage syndicated communication
to construct semantic content in a participatory manner.

==Etymology==

'''SWeeT'''

A SWeeT is an elementary unit of structured information
that can be used by people to pronounce a semantic
relationship of information on the web.
Like "tweets" are used by people to express
an idea or an interest on twitter(@),
SWeeTs can be used to express a relationship.
SWeeTs differ from Twitter tweets in two important ways:
First, they are decentralized; the SWeeTs may be
curated in arbitrary stores. Second, SWeeTs are
structured so as to reflect a semantic relationship
between web elements governed by an ontology.
This combination of structure and decentralisation
allows for a semantic web to be constructed in a
much more participatory and incremental manner.
Several examples demonstrate how SWeeTs allow
for new ways of building collaborative information
spaces:
Alipi and web page renarration,
heritage walks,
Facebook like applications for online communities, ...

SWeeTs are Social Semantic "conversations" that help bring an individual to annotate the Web with a set of simple, customizable, tools. SWeeT Web serves as a social complement to the distributed and decentralized Web. SWeeT Web decouples the one that messages and the one that aggregates.

SWeeT is someone’s context sensitive statement about some Web resource, i.e., a resource which exists on the Web itself. Thus, SWeeT Web facilitates conversational enhancement of the Web through SWeeTs which are stored in repositories. The syntax of a SWeeT is

*''@user Context Resource Attributes''

where
''@user'' is the person making the statement,
''Context'' is the resource that defines the context (i.e. ontology),
''Resource'' is the subject (URI) of the statement, and
''Attributes'' describe the properties of the Resource according to the given Context.

==Demo==

'''Some links'''

A SWeeT store: [http://demo.swtr.us demo.swtr.us]

SWeeTs in the store appear when someone uses a browser add-on (or a bookmarklet, or a browser app) to SWeeT a semantic-tag about a Web entity such as an image or a paragraph on some web-page.

'''Alipi Project'''

Alipi uses SWeeTs.

[http://alipi.us alipi.us] helps you get started. When you go to a web-page using alipi.us,
you get a bar on top that lets you do a few things:
1) Author an alternate narrative for a part of the page that interests you,
2) See if others have provided alternate narrations,
3) See if any other page on the site has been re-narrated.

When you choose an alternate narration, say a Kannada narration for the page http://schedule2013.rmll.info/programme/le-libre-dans-la-societe/communautes/article/sweet-web?lang=nl, you can also see the SWeeTs that helped in order to compile this alternate page by clicking on "Info".

When you author an alternate narrative, a SWeeT is generated and sent to the store.

a11y.in is a re-narration service that uses the SWeeTs stored in a few stores such as
demo.swtr.us

Also see [http://alipi.us/dir the directory] of pages that are re-narrated.

==Implementation==
