Abstract

The Semantic Web looks familiar to those accustomed to various sorts of knowledge modeling. The modeling structure that is examined does have a strong connection to a heritage of knowledge modeling languages. However, there is something new that has come along since the early days of expert systems and object-oriented programming; something that has had a far more revolutionizing effect on culture, business, commerce, education, and society than any expert system designer ever dreamed of. It is something so revolutionary that it is often compared in cultural significance to the invention of the printing press. That something new is the World Wide Web. The Semantic Web is the application of advanced technologies that have been used in the context of artificial intelligence, expert systems, and business rules execution in the context of a World Wide Web of information. The Semantic Web is not simply an application running on the Web somewhere; it is a part of the very infrastructure of the Web. It isn’t on the Web; it is the Web.
