Sunday 2002-12-08 Web of Services Semantic Web is hard Semantic Web is hard. The Resource Description Framework and the Resource Description Framework Schema Specification are supposed to be the foundations of the Semantic Web, in that all other Semantic Web languages are to be layered on top of them. It turns out that such a layering cannot be achieved in a straightforward way. This paper describes the problem with the straightforward layering and lays out several alternative layering possibilities. The benefits and drawbacks of each of these possibilities are presented and analyzed.(Let us refrain from questioning even lower level foundation technologies like XML, URI and Unicode for now.) For details read Peter Patel-Schneider and Dieter Fensel's paper (whose abstract is quoted above) "Layering the Semantic Web: Problems and Directions" (in PDF). permalink Sunday 2002-12-08 Web of Services From web to grid Besides web services, Semantic Web has another technology it can leverage to gain viability: grid computing. Carl Kesselman, one of the leaders of grid computing gave a keynote speech at this year's International Semantic Web Conference titled "The Grid, Grid Services and the Semantic Web: Technologies and Opportunities". Naturally, this merger of the two technologies will be named Semantic Grid. permalink |
