  1. A Ubiquitous Permeable Web • Luxembourg Workshop on Knowledge Technologies • Hamish Cunningham, Yorick WilksDepartment of Computer Science, University of Sheffield http://gate.ac.uk/semweb.html May 15th 2002 • The next generation of the web must be: • ubiquitous: semantics for every device, every organisation, every individual; • permeable: allow contextual data to penetrate and persist; • companionable: able to engage with us via multiple natural modalities. • This implies cross-disciplinary linkages with amongst others wearable and ambient computing, man-machine interface and 4th generation telecoms. 1(2)

  2. Critical Mass for the Semantic Web • The SW: machine processable, repurposable data to compliment hypertext • But: semantics = 0.0000000...% of the Web • How to achieve critical mass? Huge scale automatic annotation. Requirements: • Huge scale:– freely available to all EU citizens– distributed (over a Grid)– re-purposeable (delivered as Web Services) • Portability and robustness via:– simple and therefore shallow HLT methods– +ve and –ve learning– analogs of IPSEs for computer-literate users 2(2)
