Résumé

As the World Wide Web continues to expand, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to obtain information efficiently. Because most search engines read format languages such as HTML or SGML, search results reflect formatting tags more than actual page content, which is expressed in natural language. Spinning the Semantic Web describes an exciting new type of hierarchy and standardization that will replace the current "web of links" with a "web of meaning." Using a flexible set of languages and tools, the Semantic Web will make all available information--display elements, metadata, services, images, and especially content--accessible. The result will be an immense repository of information accessible for a wide range of new applications.

This first handbook for the Semantic Web covers, among other topics, software agents that can negotiate and collect information, markup languages that can tag many more types of information in a document, and knowledge systems that enable machines to read Web pages and determine their reliability. The truly interdisciplinary Semantic Web combines aspects of artificial intelligence, markup languages, natural language processing, information retrieval, knowledge representation, intelligent agents, and databases.

Henry Lieberman

has been a Research Scientist at the MIT Media Laboratory since 1987. From 1972 until 1987, he was a researcher at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. His work focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and the human interface. Dr. Lieberman began his career with Seymour Papert and the group behind the educational language Logo. A member of the Software Agents group, he holds a doctoral-equivalent degree from the University of Paris-VI and has published over fifty papers on a wide variety of research topics.

L'auteur - Wolfgang Wahlster

Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster

received a diploma and doctoral degree in Computer Science from the University of Hamburg, Germany. He is now Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Database Systems and head of the AI Laboratory at the University of Saarbrucken where he currently serves as a Scientific Director of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). He has published more than 150 technical papers on man-machine communication. His current research includes intelligent multimodal interfaces, user modeling, natural language scene description, intelligent help systems, and deductive plan recognition speech translation.
