From open IS semantics to the Semantic Web: the road ahead

Knowledge Management

“…As the Semantic Web initiative gets momentum, more and more resources described using structured descriptions-based on ontologies-will become available (Schwartz, 2003). Current and future application scenarios of the semanticbased retrieval techniques presented here include: electronic-marketplaces of tangible or intangible goods, skill management systems, mediators for Web service discovery and for grid-based computational resources, and dating and personnel recruitment agencies.…”

Some Observations on Semantic Web Service Processes, Tools and Applications

“…Semantic Web is an extension of current web, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computer and people to work in cooperation [48]. Its basic aim is to create a layer on the existing web that enables advanced automatic processing of the web contents so that data can be shared and processed by both humans and software.…”

“…It is using the concept of self-describing, machine-readable knowledge which is accessible using standard web programming constructs. Semantic layer connects the different knowledge sources having explicit and defined semantics, across the web [48]. Semantic web aims at offering a solution, capturing and exploiting the meaning of terms to transform current web from information-presentation platform to a platform that focuses on understanding and reasoning with the information [30].…”
