On the Emergent SemanticWeb and Overlooked Issues
On the Emergent SemanticWeb and Overlooked Issues
"Abstract. The emergent SemanticWeb, despite being in its infancy, has already received a lot of attention from academia and industry. This resulted in an abundance of prototype systems and discussion most of which are centred around the underlying infrastructure. However, when we critically review the work done to date we realise that there is little discussion with respect to the vision of the SemanticWeb. In particular, there is an observed dearth of discussion on how to deliver knowledge sharing in an environment such as the SemanticWeb in effective and efficient manners. There are a lot of overlooked issues, associated with agents and trust to hidden assumptions made with respect to knowledge representation and robust reasoning in a distributed environment. These issues could potentially hinder further development if not considered at the early stages of designing Semantic Web systems. In this perspectives’ paper, we aim to help engineers and practitioners of the SemanticWeb by raising awareness of these issues."
