The Semantic Web is a young discipline, even if only in
comparison to other areas of computer science. Nonetheless, it
already exhibits an interesting history and evolution. This book
is a reflection on this evolution, aiming to take a snapshot of
where we are at this specific point in time, and also showing
what might be the focus of future research.
The Semantic Web is a young discipline, even if only in

already exhibits an interesting history and evolution. This book
is a reflection on this evolution, aiming to take a snapshot of
where we are at this specific point in time, and also showing
what might be the focus of future research.
This book provides both a conceptual and practical view of this
evolution, especially targeted at readers who are starting
research in this area and as support material for their
supervisors. From a conceptual point of view, it highlights and
discusses key questions that have animated the research
community: what does it mean to be a Semantic Web system and how
is it different from other types of systems, such as knowledge
systems or web-based information systems? From a more practical
point of view, the core of the book introduces a simple
conceptual framework which characterizes Intelligent Semantic Web
Systems. We describe this framework, the components it includes,
and give pointers to some of the approaches and technologies that
might be used to implement them. We also look in detail at
concrete systems falling under the category of Intelligent
Semantic Web Systems, according to the proposed framework,
allowing us to compare them, analyze their strengths and
weaknesses, and identify the key fundamental challenges still
open for researchers to tackle.
