Work on the Semantic Web is all to often phrased as a technological challenge: how to improve the precision of search engines, how to personalise web-sites, how to integrate weakly-structured data-sources, etc. This suggests that we will be able to realise the Semantic Web by merely applying (and at most refining) the results that are already available from many branches of Computer Science. I ...

Tom Gruber is an innovator in technologies that extend human intelligence. Building on early work in computer-mediated learning and artificial intelligence, he focuses on creating environments for collective intelligence. We discussed with him at he International Semantic Web Conference 2006 in Athens, Georgia in the USA. Interviewer: Davor Orli?, Center For Knowledge Transfer, Jozef Stefan Ins...

In this paper we study a large query log of more than twenty million queries with the goal of extracting the semantic relations that are implicitly captured in the actions of users submitting queries and clicking answers. Previous query log analyses were mostly done with just the queries and not the actions that followed after them. We first propose a novel way to represent queries in a vector ...

Using the results of a number of large European projects Fabio will outline the main issues for acquiring ontological knowledge from text and media at large scale. A lot of the work described here is based on collaborations with the jet engine company Rolls Royce. This session will give attendees insights into how information extraction techniques can support the population of ontologies with d...

Thanks to the efforts of many researchers over the past five years, Semantic Web technologies have reached the point where they are now enabling new types of business solutions. In this presentation, we will show how IBM Research is using Semantic Web technologies and Semantic Super Computing to generate new insight from the Web, intranets and large document repositories. It includes an introdu...

One aspect of Cyc is a very large, logic-based knowledge base that includes, inter-alia, large amounts of background knowledge over a wide variety of domains, but it is more than that; the Cyc project is an attempt to move towards general artificial intelligence by supporting automated reasoning about a very wide variety of real-world concerns. To support that goal, Cyc also encompasses, obviou...

The availability of electronically stored information increased drastically through the development of the World Wide Web. Currently the WWW contains more than a billion documents, but support for accessing and precessing information is limited. Most information is only presentable but not understandable by computers. Tim Berners-Lee envisioned the Semantic Web that aims at providing automated ...

Rules are a main emerging area of the Semantic Web. There has been significant progress in just the last three years in several aspects of Semantic Web rules. This includes exciting developments in the underlying knowledge representation formalisms as well as advances in integration of rules with ontologies; translations between heterogeneous commercial rule engines; development of open-source ...

In this paper, a new way to express complex spatial relations is proposed in order to integrate them in a Constraint Satisfaction Problem with bilevel constraints. These constraints allow to build semantic graphs, which can describe more precisely the spatial relations between subparts of a composite object that we look for in an image. For example, it allows to express complex spatial relation...

For the past several years I have warned people not to ask me to predict the future, because my predictions are usually wrong. Undaunted by failure, in this talk I will try to predict the future of the semantic web based on a very personal view of its history, the history of the internet, web, semantic web, and AI, and the mistakes I've made predicting where and how they would be valuable.
