Oryon Interview about the Semantic Web This interview with Dr. Frank van Harmelin from the November 2003 issue of Oryon is one of the best explanations of the purpose of the semantic web that I've seen. "Well, the idea of the semantic web is to extend the current web with additional information that will enable computers to understand web pages too. This does not mean that we propose to dump the current web and start all over again. The semantic web can best be viewed as an additional layer on top of the current web. In practice it means that a part of the content of current web pages must be adapted to make them interpretable for computers." ____ JH 6:22:56 PM    COMMENT []
