Well, Let Me Help You…

Some questions come up regularly, so I collected them ;-)
1. Is the Semantic Web AI on the Web?
2. Where is the “Web” in SW?
3. Isn’t the RDF Model way too complex?
4. Why should I use RDF?
  - (couldn’t I use XML and XML Schemas instead?)
5. With huge ontologies on the Web, does this scale?
6. Where does the metadata come from?
  - (should we really expect the author to type in all this metadata?)
7. Isn't This Research Only?
8. Does SW Replace Web Services?
I can answer these if you want…
