Towards A Semantic Platform(a better approach)

Setting the Stage for Semantic Search and More

The Semantic Web provides a common framework that

allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries

W3C

Next Generation of the Web / Intranets ?

• The Semantic Web, Scientific American, May 2001, Tim Berners-Lee

• Highly compelling vision for the next generation of the Web – a Standardized Web …

… however, it’s hard to get people to agree Why the 1st “Semantic Web” did not take off

Esperanto (didn’t take off either)

Using Intelligent Software Agents a whole new universe of applications is possible

Machine Intelligent Agents can interact with information just like humans…only better!

They can push buttons, fill in fields, watch, filter, format and deliver

They speak HTML, RSS, XML, Database, Excel and more

They don’t sleep

You can have thousands of them …
