The Semantic Technology Conference (SemTech) enters its third year as the pre-eminent meeting place for the growing community of developers, entrepreneurs, technology architects and researchers who are building software and systems based on semantic techn
The 3rd Annual European Semantic Web Conference will be held in Budva, Montenegro from the 11th - 14th June, 2006. It will present the latest results in research and application in Semantic Web technologies (including knowledge markup languages, Semantic
Not long after he invented and unleashed the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee realized that the limit to the effectiveness of the World Wide Web would be that while billions of documents could be linked and indexed, they relied on human interpretation to d
Downloadable articles and audio files from the 2006 Semantic Technology Conference held in San Jose, CA. Material is geared toward enterprise and business use of semantic web technologies, although not limited to that topic.
The Semantic Web, where machines are able to read the contents of documents as readily as people can, now has all the standards and technologies it needs to succeed, according to W3C director Tim Berners-Lee. Speaking at the World Wide Web 2006 conferen
We have a limited “Semantic Web” appearing without the complex technologies that have been developed for it. Will the trend continue? Can it, using existing technologies, or will developers eventually ‘find’ RDF, OWL and SPARQL? Should the appeara
The goal of the SWS Challenge is to develop a common understanding of various technologies intended to facilitate the automation of mediation, choreography and discovery for Web Services using semantic annotations. The intent of this challenge is to explo
The challenge that the Yahoos and Microsofts of the world have is that they are still beholden to the older corporate model of the world, and tend to denigrate their user generated content as being so much fluff. Thus when the Web 2.0 explosion occurred,

Semantic technologies have become central to a broad range of research and development initiatives. This diagram visualizes the intersections of four major development themes in the semantic wave: networking (e.g., semantic web, grid & p2p), content (e.g.
This diagram depicts a spectrum of information sharing capabilities. Moving from lower right to upper left of the diagram, we see that more expressive forms of metadata and semantic modeling encompass the simpler forms, and extend their capabilities. From

[Sample clip]: For two systems to communicate they must commit to a common ontology. It doesn't matter how elegant or clever your ontology is, if no one else shares it, you don't participate in anything broader than your own ontology...
The Semantic Web is expected to provide more benefits to software engineering. Over the past five years there have been a number of attempts to bring together languages and tools, such as the UML, developed for Software Engineering with Semantic Web langu
Abstract from downloadable PDF: Data on the Semantic Web is semi-structured and does not follow one fixed schema. Faceted browsing is a natural technique for navigating such data, partitioning the information space into orthogonal conceptual dimensions.
