The Semantic Web is Not
Artificial Intelligence on the Web
- although it uses elements of logic
- it is much more down-to-Earth (we will see later)
- it is all about properly representing and characterizing metadata
-
of course: AI systems may use the metadata of the
Semantic Web
- but that is a layer way above it
A purely academic research topic
- Semantic Web is out of the university labs now
- lots of applications exist already (see examples later)
- big players of the industry use it (Sun, Adobe, HP, IBM, etc.)
- of course, much is still be done!
