The Semantic Web is a vision – the idea of having data on the Web
defined and linked in such a way that it can be used by machines
not just for display purposes but for automation, integration and
reuse of data across various applications. However, there is a
widespread misconception that the Semantic Web is a rehash of
existing AI and database work. Kashyap, Bussler, and Moran dispel
this notion by presenting the multi-disciplinary technological
underpinnings such as machine learning, information retrieval,
service-oriented architectures, and grid computing. Thus they
combine the informational and computational aspects needed to
realize the full potential of the Semantic Web vision.
