The Semantic Web and End Users: What's Wrong and How to Fix It

David R. Karger

Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

The Semantic Web's potential to deliver tools that help end users capture, communicate, and manage information has yet to be fulfilled, and far too little research is going into doing so. The author examines the poor state of current tools, argues that the Semantic Web offers a key part of the answer to building better ones, and discusses what needs to change in Semantic Web research to attain that goal. The Web extra video for the Atomate example is available at http://youtu.be/91KF1wEOVhU.
