The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF).
The SWEO Interest Group is pleased to announce the first release of a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document about the Semantic Web. It provides comprehensive answers to questions covering Semantic Web standards and their usage. This is an evolving document that will continue to be updated over time. There is also a Wiki site where the community can contribute to the further evolution of this document, as well as an RSS1.0 feed to help tracking changes on the FAQ.
