Towards a Semantic Web
The current Web represents information using
natural language (English, Hungarian, Chinese,…)
graphics, multimedia, page layout
This is okay for humans; difficult for machines!
In the case of distributed applications:
automatic procedures are involved and not (only) humans
agents try to make “sense” of resources on the Web
a well defined terminology on the domain is necessary
