Semantic Web Principles
Evolution
- The Semantic Web must permit distributed communities to
work independently to increase the Web of understanding,
adding new information without insisting that the old be
modified. This approach allows the communities to resolve
ambiguities and clarify inconsistencies over time while
taking maximum advantage of the wealth of backgrounds and
abilities reachable through the Web. Therefore the Semantic
Web must be based on a facility that can expand as human
understanding expands. This facility must be able to capture
information that links independent representations of
overlapping areas of knowledge.
