Zum Vortrag

Tim Berners-Lee referred to the future of the current WWW as the "Semantic Web" - an extended Web of machine-readable information and automated services that extend far beyond current capabilities. The explicit representation of the semantics underlying data, programs, pages, and other Web resources, will enable a knowledge-based Web that provides a qualitatively new level of service. Automated services will improve in their capacity to assist humans in achieving their goals by "understanding" more of the content on the Web, and thus providing more accurate filtering, categorization, and searches of information sources. This process will ultimately lead to an extremely knowledgeable system that features various specialized reasoning services. Examples include both business applications, such as automated procurement and supply chain management, but also non-commercial applications as well as military applications. Web services can be completely decentralized and distributed over the Internet and accessed by a wide variety of communication devices. Organizations can be released from the burden of complex, slow and expensive software integration and focus instead on the value of their offerings and mission critical tasks.
The dynamic enterprise and dynamic value chains would become achievable and may be even mandatory for competitive advantage. These services will support us in nearly all aspects of our daily life - making access to information as pervasive and necessary, as access to electricity is today.
