Re: Fwd: [Semantic_Web] Survey results available: "The Semantic Web Vision: Where are We?"

Danny,

Unfortunately, I am out of town, so I could only quickly scan through
the paper. But is _is_ interesting, and I will have to read it more
thoroughly.

I presume you refer to figure 5. It is really interesting, though not
really clear to me. What it tells me is that, on the one hand, OWL+RDFS
has really become the main set of tools for ontologies, leaving the
others, F-logic, WSML, Common Logic, etc, far behind. Of course, the
fact that these are standards really counts (although we should not
forget about the technical problems around OWL+RDFS; put it another way,
we should not dismiss the values of other tools!).

However, it is not clear how many of those use _only_ RDF(S). Because
RDF(S) is 64.9% and OWL is 75.9%, this is not clear at all to me. I
actually cannot really interpret this result...

This stuff would merit a blog. Would you do the honour? I am on the road...

Cheers

Ivan
