A brief discussion of the Semantic Web, Ontologies, and tooks to manage them…
There is probably little argument that the past decade has brought the “big bang� in the amount of online information available for processing by humans and machines. Two of the trends that it spurred (among many others) are: first, there has been a move to more flexible and fluid (semi-structured) models than the traditional centralized relational databases that stored most of the electronic data before; second, today there is simply too much information available to be processed by humans, and we really need help from machines. On today’s Web, however, most of the information is still for human consumption in one way or another.
