Abstract. The Semantic Web grows constantly and promises a huge amount of machine-interpretable information. Unfortunately, the inte-gration and usage of semantic information is not feasible by everyone. Hence, a large number of Semantic Web applications are lacking and the potential of the semantic knowledge remains unexploited. We propose balloon Synopsis, an easy-to-use jQuery plugin to integrate Semantic Web information in a website.
