Building the Semantic Web

The World Wide Web…
Works reasonably well for single document texts, or for finding sites based on single document textCannot integrate information from multiple documentsCannot find things in databases, programs, devices and
sensorsCannot ever get better (qualitatively)!
Keyword-based IR will never really do better than it does today (in satisfying user needs)

“Our” Semantic Web
Jan 1, 03: Crawler finds 5.8M+ DAML statements on 20,000+ web pages Doesn’t include many instance KBs tied to ontologies Doesn’t include many very large RDFS-based KBs that include some OWL
Ontology library at http://www.daml.org has 209 ontologies (March 2003) Open for anyone to create Open for anyone to use
OWL is being supported by large corporation labs Web tool developers: IBM, HP, Sun, Intel, Fujitsu Content providers: Daimler-Chrysler, Nokia, Motorola, EDS, Agfa
OWL is starting to be used by thesaurus developers C.f. National Cancer Institute metathesaurus released in OWL Lite CALL Thesaurus in DAML NASA thesaurus available in DAML
Use of semantic markup for Web Services beginning to move beyond basic research DAML-S cited as required reading for Web Services Choreography WG DAML-S being demoed to WSDL WG next week

Tools are critical
Tools for marking up images, figures and other non-textual data… must be built in a way that they tie into the "business processes" of the working scientist -- that is, rather than learning a whole new set of tools, the basic web tools of the scientist must include mechanisms that make it EASIER for the scientist to produce web content (appropriately markedup) while authoring papers, performing experiments, creating and logging data, and the other day to day activities of the working researcher.

Conclusions
The Semantic Web is real allows us to create models of information and share these on the web
In a web-like open-system way In a way that exposes more semantics Vocabularies/ontologies first step, but they need to be easier to create and use
and modify and crawl and query
Application development has begun! A new generation of Semantic Web tools is becoming available First prototypes are becoming available for “end to end” functionality Some components, and the OWL language, are ready for prime time
The Semantic Wave Is an incoming tide…
