Isn't This Research Only?
SW Applications


  • Large number of applications emerge
    • first applications were RDF only
    • but newer ones begin to use ontologies, too
      • huge number of ontologies exist already, with proprietary formats
      • converting them to RDF/OWL will be a major task
      • (but there are converters)
      • but it will be worth it!
  • See, for example, on WSIndex
    • portal on “Web Services and Semantic Web Resources”
    • with a separate page for SW applications
  • …or the ISWC2004 Demos
    • 40 demonstrations in 2004 alone(!)
    • these are demos, but may result in real applications
