What Is Needed?
- A resource should provide information about itself
- also called "metadata"
- metadata stored in XML (or other, machine readable form)
- metadata vocabularies should be defined
- agents should be able to "reason" about (meta)data
The "Semantic Web" is an infrastructure for reasoning on the Web
- It extends the current Web ("a globally linked database")
