The Semantic Web: Ready for Action?

It’s high time for the Semantic Web to go mainstream, said Timothy J. Berners-Lee, the Web’s creator, at this year’s World Wide Web Conference in Scotland.

The Semantic Web’s goal is to facilitate automated Web searches and other transactions by making Web pages readable by computers. Developing the technology to make the Semantic Web work has taken considerable time, Mr. Berners-Lee said, but the final piece of the puzzle—a language that will translate data from the old Web to the new one—is now ready to be put in place.
