“Concept web 4.0 ("the organization") was formed to bring together a consortium of scientists and scientific institutions as well as persons who are active in the academic information realm to contribute information and technology in order to facilitate a global repository of intra-operable knowledge, with the benefit to the public of reduced redundancy in global information and promote greater efficiencies in internet-based research. One of the main charitable purposes of the organization is to reduce redundancy in global information and data repositories. This will be effectuated through grants to academic institutions and non-profit scientific organizations. The organization is working to address the challenges associated with the production of unprecedented volumes of academic and professional information, including storage, search capabilities and analysis, particularly in connection with scientific disciplines. As the amount of information available on the internet grows, it is increasingly difficult to sift through search results to identify current, accurate information and to make appropriate linkages among the relevant results. Additionally, the redundancy of information on the world wide web makes it difficult to determine attribution, quality and provenance of the information, which increases the risks of inaccuracies, misattribution and plagiarism. The organization will work with its members to identify and develop methods to implement a "semantic web" approach, meaning that the connections between disparate data on the internet will be identified to allow for the extraction of consistent knowledge from these disparate data sources (often referred to as interoperability). For this interconnectivity, and the necessary interoperability, to occur, the unambiguous and established meaning (the "concept") of terms used in texts and data collections must be first uniquely identified. Where the technology is not currently capable of resolving ambiguities, the concept will need to be validated by individuals. Next, the proposition that can be made with each concept will be captured in a simple, computer readable format called a nanopublication, including the ability to weigh the validity of each individual assertion. By contrast, search engines currently rely primarily on locating specific words or phrases without reference to the context and without the resolution of ambiguities. Creating nanopublications that include information on the author and the source will greatly enhance the ability to cite scientific information. Any technologies developed by members of the organization as part of this process will be open source, meaning that the source code for the technologies is available to others and modifications of the source code are permitted. In addition, the content generated will be open access, meaning that it will be available for free to the general public. This open source and open access policy will allow the public to make better use of the information contained in online databases. The organization will not be creating new web information, rather it is working to create better ways for the general public, particularly those engaged in academic, educational, or scientific research, to use the already existing information by streamlining and enhancing the search process and implementing quality controls to reduce inaccuracies and ensure proper attribution. As the organization receives additional funding it may institute programs to educate the larger scientific community and members of the public on technologies available to facilitate greater efficiencies in internet-based research. The largest activity the organization will engage in will involve conferences and workshops. Members from the organization will attend and present at various conferences and professional workshops. Also, the organization will organize an annual conference and various workshops for individuals interested in the research and developmen”

“Concept web 4.0 ("the organization") has begun to hold initial conferences and coordinate research relating to the organization's exempt purpose. To date, the organization has undertaken several activities. Members of the board of directors have spoken at relevant conferences and contacted prospective members. In addition, the organization has prepared applications for requests for funding, including grants from the national science foundation. Also, the organization has created working groups to prepare non-binding written recommendations for the organization about membership, funding, technical developments, and similar issues in the field. It is anticipated that many individuals participating in these working groups will apply for membership in the organization. The organization is intended to be operated mainly through the efforts of its volunteer board of directors and volunteer members. In the future the organization may coordinate and fund scientific and technological research on reducing redundancy and ambiguity in global information and data repositories through grants to academic institutions and non-profit scientific organizations. During 2011, the organization provided a grant to leiden university medical center in an effort to fund scientific and technological research. The oranization did not make any grants during 2014 due to funding limitations.”
