Yahoo’s embrace of all things open continues today - expect an announcement in an hour or so that they are expanding their Open Search Platform that we wrote about last month. In that previous announcement, Yahoo talked about their plans to allow third parties to alter and enhance search results with structured data that may be useful to users. Today, they’ll give more details on the developer platform and will announce support for a number of semantic web standards.

Had trouble choosing which one (TC or SELand) to sphinn. Went with SELand earlier this morning as there is more depth: http://sphinn.com/story/34438

As cool as this sounds like any thing, the implementation of this new technology will be the a key factor here.After that search users still have to adopt and utilize the new service. Which means change, and that means making new habits for the users. Which again is why implementation and re-implementating the solution is very important.I hope Yahoo! can pull it off. The search industry needs competition.Cheers, -Bart

Structuring data for search engines is a good idea that is welcomed by many professionals. There’s is just one shag to it - does the support of semantic web standards enough for search results enhancement?
