The Semantic Web: past and future

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Work on semantic networks predates the introduction of the Internet in 1968. The idea of making a semantic web on the basis of RDF (Resource Description Framework) and the World Wide Web was broached by Tim Berners Lee at WWW7 (Brisbane, 1998) and further described in a roadmap (September 1998). Since then it has become a mainstream vision with progress on many fronts. A key element of the semantic web vision that makes assertions on the Web machine-readable is a RDF. This has transformed the Internet into a Web for sharing knowledge and prepares the way for a transaction web, fundamental for business dimensions of the web by providing validation of nodes and links in the system.
