Vision of the Semantic Web
•“The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in
which information is given well-defined
meaning, better enabling computers and
people to work in cooperation.” [SA2001]
•“The Semantic Web will bring structure to the meaningful
content of Web pages, creating an environment where
software agents roaming from page to page can
readily carry out sophisticated tasks for
users.” [SA2001]
•“The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data
on the web defined and linked in a way, that
it can be used by machines - not just for
display purposes, but for using it in various applications.” [SW]
