What Is Needed (Technically)?
To make metadata machine processable, we need:
- unambiguous names for resources (URIs)
-
a common data model for expressing metadata (RDF)
- and ways to access the metadata on the Web
- common vocabularies (Ontologies)
The Semantic Web defines a framework for integrating data on the Web and reasoning over this data
- It extends the current Web (and does not replace it)
