The Semantic Web is the idea of having data on the Web defined and linked in a way that it can be used for more effective discovery, automation, integration, and reuse across various applications. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is considered to be an important basis for the realisation of this vision. The bib2rdf tool translates the structured data that is contained in BibTeX bibliographies into an RDF-compliant form, which makes a vast amount of bibliographical information available for Semantic Web applications.
