We have a limited “Semantic Web” appearing without the complex technologies that have been developed for it. Will the trend continue? Can it, using existing technologies, or will developers eventually ‘find’ RDF, OWL and SPARQL? Should the appeara
Abstract from downloadable PDF: Data on the Semantic Web is semi-structured and does not follow one fixed schema. Faceted browsing is a natural technique for navigating such data, partitioning the information space into orthogonal conceptual dimensions.
[Sample clip]: For two systems to communicate they must commit to a common ontology. It doesn't matter how elegant or clever your ontology is, if no one else shares it, you don't participate in anything broader than your own ontology...
