Workshop
Outline
The "Semantic
Web", a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, is used to denote
the next evolution step of the Web. Associating meaning with
content or establishing a layer of machine understandable
data would allow automated agents, sophisticated search engines
and interoperable services, will enable higher degree of automation
and more intelligent applications. The ultimate goal of the
Semantic Web is to allow machines the sharing and exploitation
of knowledge in the Web way, i.e. without central authority,
with few basic rules, in a scalable, adaptable, extensible
manner. With RDF as the basic platform for the Semantic Web,
a multitude of tools, methods and systems have just appeared
on the horizon. The goal of the workshop is to share experiences
about these systems, exchange ideas about improvements of
existing tools and creation of new systems, principles and
applications. Also an important goal is to develop a cooperation
model among Semantic Web developers, and to develop a common
vision about the future developments.
