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 a metadata based infrastructure for reasoning on the Web
It
extends
the current Web (and does not replace it)
