What is Semantic Web

Chapter 53
Handbook of Research on Digital Libraries: Design, Development, and Impact
A project of the WWW consortium lead by Tim Berners Lee. The traditional WWW is characterized by documents coded in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) (i.e., carrying pure metadata for Web search engines). The Semantic Web is designed for exchange of documents carrying machine-readable semantic information generated through XML (eXentsible Markup Language) or RDF (Resource Description Framework). This does not mean that the computer comprehends the content, it just means that the computer is able to process well-defined problems by pattern matching.

The European Approach Towards Digital Library Education: Dead End or Recipe for Success?
Wolfgang Ratzek (Stuttgart Media University, Germany)
Copyright: © 2009 |Pages: 6
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-59904-879-6.ch053
Abstract
Triggered by a rapid diffusion of ICT within the last two decades, libraries have undergone a (r)evolutionary change in both mission and services. Step by step, libraries diversified their mission from a media holding institution towards a multimedia content provider in a physical and digital environment. To run a library in this way, highly qualified staff with LIS background is brought into focus. The article deals with the situation in European LIS institutions and its programs, particularly with regard to digital library. The crucial question will be: what kind of paradigm, if at all, exists with regard to the digital library phenomenon? Furthermore, some trends in libraries services and conceptions are presented.

How Semantic Web Technologies can Support the Mediation between Supply and Demand in the ICT Market: The Case of Customer Relationship Management
The Semantic Web started from a vision of Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila and it is still work in progress. Basically, the Semantic Web is an evolution of the World Wide Web in which machines (i.e., software processes) can, at some extent, “understand” the meaning of the information and services available on it and, in some cases, can also “reason” about them. These understanding and automatic reasoning capabilities are supported by the usage of standards and technologies that enable the description of Web resources (possibly by means of metadata) and to specify concepts and properties in a machine-readable form.

The Semantic Web is an on-going project to extend the World Wide Web (WWW) to permit humans and machines to collaborate efficiently. As envisioned by Berners-Lee (2007), inventor of WWW (and web languages URI, HTTP, and HTML), the future Web should evolve into a universal exchange for data, information and knowledge. Without a universal standard for machine access, HTML data is difficult to use on a large scale. The Semantic Web solves this problem with an efficient global mesh for information access by humans and machines.

Social Semantic Bookmarking with SOBOLEO
The vision of improving the internet making the content of the web more accessible to machines, this should enable agents to handle more complex task on behalf of the user. The Semantic Web initiative has given rise to standards such as RDF, OWL and SPARQL that aim to make representing information and exchanging information on the web possible.

The Semantic Web
The Semantic Web is a Web that is able to describe things in a way that computers can understand such as U” being a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. Statements are built with syntax rules. The syntax of a language defines the rules for building the language statements.

Text Mining
The semantic Web is a web of data, like a global database. The Web was designed as an information space, with the goal that it should be useful not only for human-human communication, but also that machines would be able to participate and help. The semantic Web approach aims at developing languages for expressing information in a machine-processable form.

Data Integration: Introducing Semantics
An extension of the current Web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. Berners-Lee, et al. (2001) said that in the context of the Semantic Web, the word semantic meant “machine-processable.” They explicitly ruled out the sense of natural language semantics. For data, the semantics convey what a machine can do with those data.

That, says Berners-Lee, will increase users’ ability to find the information they seek.

Socio-Semantic Web for Sharing Knowledge
The basic idea of the semantic Web project is to create a universally recognized medium for exchanging information by giving meaning (semantics) to the contents of documents on the Web, in a way understandable by machines. The semantic Web extends World Wide Web features through the introduction of standards, markup languages (among which OWL—Web ontology language) and the related processing tools (e.g., inferential engines). The project is currently supervised by Tim Berners-Lee (the Web’s creator) of the World Wide Web Consortium.
