UBL & the Semantic Web
•UBL is “now” (should have been yesterday) – addressing a real need so that business can effectively be served •The Semantic Web is somewhere in the “future” – representing how the Internet could have served humanity better •However, if done right, UBL can help provide a bridge for us to transition from “here” (the Web as we know it now) to “there” -- the Web where we can have true semantic interoperability
