The vision of a Semantic Web has recently drawn considerable attention, both from academia and industry. Description Logics are often named as one of the tools that can support the Semantic Web and thus help to make this vision reality.

Swoogle is a crawler-based indexing and retrieval system for the Semantic Web documents – i.e., RDF or OWL documents. It analyzes the documents it discovered to compute useful metadata properties and relationships between them. The documents are also indexed by using an information retrieval system

An important objective of the Semantic Web is to make Electronic Commerce interactions more flexible and automated. To achieve this, standardisation of ontologies, message content and message protocols will be necessary. In this paper we investigate how Semantic and Web Services technologies can

Abstract. Semantic Web languages are being used to represent, encode and exchange semantic data in many contexts beyond the Web – in databases, multiagent systems, mobile computing, and ad hoc networking environments. The core paradigm, however, remains what we call the Web aspect of the Semantic

In connection with the DAML project for bringing about the Semantic Web, an ontology of time is being developed for describing the temporal content of Web pages and the temporal properties of Web services. The bulk of information on the Web is in natural language, and this information

Abstract—The vision of the Semantic Web is to lift the current Web into semantic repositories where heterogeneous data can be queried and different services can be mashed up. Ontology or agreed consensus is the key issue to achieve that. In this paper, we present the EASAIER (Enabling Access

The focus of contemporary Web information retrieval systems has been to provide efficient support for the querying and retrieval of relevant documents. More recently, information retrieval over semantic metadata extracted from the Web has received an increasing amount of interest in both industry

Researchers in artificial intelligence first developed ontologies to facilitate knowledge sharing and reuse. Since the beginning of the 1990s, ontologies have become a popular research topic, and several AI research communities—including Ontologies play a major role in supporting information exchange across various networks. A prerequisite for such a role is the development of a joint standard for specifying and exchanging ontologies. The authors present OIL, a proposal for

The MARC standard for exchanging bibliographic data has been in use for several decades and is used by major libraries worldwide. This paper discusses the possibilities of representing the most prevalent form of MARC, MARC21, as RDF for the Semantic Web, and aims to understand the tradeoffs, if any
