Paper Abstract:
|
The semantic evolution of the Web appears to be technically feasible but still not yet within our grasp. Web Science is
concerned with providing hypotheses to explain this gap as well as with defining innovative paths to explore.
From a technical point of view one crucial issue for the takeoff of the Semantic Web has been identified in the problem of
data exposure. This issue is strictly intertwined with the concrete need of addressable open and shared ontological
concepts as well as with their grounding in physical data resources.
So far, some researchers have started to argue that properly facing such problems would first require an intermediary step
from the current Web of Documents towards a Web of Data. In the Web of Data documents are broken down into simpler
information units to be addressed with sufficient granularity as to allow their effective processing, integration and,
ultimately, interoperability.
In this context, InterDataNet (IDN) is a project within the Web of Data which can improve the Semantic Web.
The IDN project aims to define an architectural solution to data interoperability through a layered middleware
architecture that grounds the Web of Data. IDN sustains global addressability of concepts and resources as well as basic
collaborative oriented services for distributed and heterogeneous semantic data management.
IDN infrastructural solution can boost Tim Berners Lees Semantic Web vision by providing a way of achieving the
collaborative creation of shared information (Web of Data) and conceptualization (Semantic Web). |
