I ask becuase of this opening paragraph: Semantic Web refers to a Web of linked data. These technologies enable people to create data stores on the Web, build vocabularies, and write rules for handling data. Linked data are empowered by technologies such as RDF, SPARQL, OWL, and SKOS. Which could have just read: The Semantic Web Project refers to an initiative to evolve the current Web into a more granular mesh of linked data items. This project is the focal point of technologies that enable people to create data spaces on the Web. It also includes additional technologies and initiatives for developing vocabularies, and inference rules that further enhance the virtues of a Web of Linked Data. Example technologies that have emerged from the Semantic Web project include: RDF, SPARQL, OWL, and SKOS. Many of these technologies are critical infrastructure components that power the Web of Linked Data. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
