The Semantic Web Overview Incremental Ontology Creation * * An Emerging Successor of the Web By Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila Presented by Veera Chandra Sekhar Introduction Expressing Meaning Knowledge Representation XML RDF Ontologies Incremental Ontology Creation Agents Evolution of Semantic Web Advantages Conclusion The development of Semantic Web is well underway with a goal that it would be possible for machines to understand the information on the web rather than simply display. The major obstacle to this goal is the fact that most information on the web is designed solely for human consumption. This information should be structured in a way that machines can understand and process that information. The concept of machine-understandable documents does not imply “Artificial Intelligence”. It only indicates a machine’s ability to solve well-defined problems by performing well-defined operations on well-defined data. The key technological threads that are currently employed in the development of Semantic Web are: eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Resource Description Framework (RDF), DAML (DARPA Agent Markup Language). Introduction Expressing Meaning Most of the web’s content today is designed for humans to read , and not for computer programs to process meaningfully. Computers can - parse the web pages. - perform routine processing (here a header, there a link, etc.) In general, they have no reliable way to understand and process the semantics. The Semantic Web will bring structure to the meaningful content of the web of web pages, creating an environment where software agents roaming from page to page carry out sophisticated tasks for users. The Semantic Web is not a separate web. Knowledge Representation For Semantic Web to function, the computers should have access
