*Semantic Web Q & A*
by Jim Hendler (05)
*Abstract*: (06)
The Ontolog community has heard many presentations touching on
what the Semantic Web is, how it interacts with ontology
development and/or web services, and what semantics might offer.
By now, you must have questions you want answered about the hows
and whys of RDF, OWL, and the emerging Semantic Web Rules and
Services areas. Rather than an organized talk, I will put myself
at your disposal to answer questions about what these
technologies are, how they can be used, and where they'll go
next. So come and ask, and I'll do my best to answer. (07)
